ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING METHOD WITH BUILD MATERIAL CONTROL AND APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240042699 titled 'ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING METHOD WITH BUILD MATERIAL CONTROL AND APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation
The abstract of the patent application describes a method for producing a solid object using a modeling apparatus. The method involves depositing a build material onto a build surface in predefined areas. The quantity of build material applied to the build surface is measured, preferably during or after each level of build material deposition, or by measuring the force applied to the build surface. The deposited build material quantity is compared with the projected build material quantity to control the deposition process.
- The method involves depositing build material onto a build surface using an extruder head.
- The quantity of build material applied to the build surface is measured, either during or after each level of deposition, or by measuring the force applied to the build surface.
- The measured build material quantity is compared with the projected build material quantity to control the deposition process.
Potential applications of this technology:
- 3D printing and additive manufacturing processes
- Prototyping and rapid manufacturing
- Customized product manufacturing
- Medical and dental applications (e.g., prosthetics, implants)
Problems solved by this technology:
- Ensures accurate and precise deposition of build material
- Allows for real-time monitoring and control of the deposition process
- Reduces material waste and improves efficiency
Benefits of this technology:
- Enables the production of complex and intricate solid objects
- Facilitates the customization and personalization of products
- Reduces production time and costs
- Provides greater control over the manufacturing process
Original Abstract Submitted
a method for producing a solid object using a modeling apparatus includes depositing a build material with an extruder head () onto a build surface () on predefined areas. the build material quantity applied to the build surface is measured (), preferably during the build material is deposited onto the build surface, or after each level of build material has been deposited on the build surface, or measuring a force applied to the build surface. preferably, the build material quantity deposited onto the build surface () is compared with the build material projected to be deposited onto the build surface during deposition. build material deposition is controlled () accordingly.
