THREE-DIMENSIONAL IMAGING APPARATUS HAVING MULTIPLE PASSIVE NOZZLES FOR MODELING A MULTI MATERIAL THREE-DIMENSIONAL OBJECT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240051229 titled 'THREE-DIMENSIONAL IMAGING APPARATUS HAVING MULTIPLE PASSIVE NOZZLES FOR MODELING A MULTI MATERIAL THREE-DIMENSIONAL OBJECT

Simplified Explanation

The present invention is a three-dimensional imaging apparatus (3D printer) that has a print head unit with multiple passive micro-sized nozzles. These nozzles are integrated with material interfaces. The print head unit includes a nozzle gripper mechanism for picking the passive micro-sized nozzle, a filament or rod feeding mechanism for feeding the material, and a heating mechanism for contactless heating regulation of the lower portion of the passive micro-sized nozzle.

  • The invention allows for printing three-dimensional objects using multiple passive micro-sized nozzles, providing different types of materials and colors for creating the object.
  • The print head unit includes a mechanism for picking and gripping the passive micro-sized nozzle, ensuring precise and controlled printing.
  • The filament or rod feeding mechanism enables the continuous supply of material to the print head unit, allowing for uninterrupted printing.
  • The heating mechanism regulates the temperature of the passive micro-sized nozzle, ensuring optimal material flow and preventing clogging or blockages.
  • The integration of material interfaces with the passive micro-sized nozzles allows for efficient and accurate deposition of materials during the printing process.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Rapid prototyping: The 3D printer can be used to quickly create prototypes of products, allowing for faster design iterations and reducing time to market.
  • Custom manufacturing: The ability to use different types of materials and colors enables the production of customized objects with specific properties or aesthetics.
  • Education and research: The 3D printer can be used in educational settings to teach students about additive manufacturing and design principles. It can also be used in research laboratories for creating complex structures or materials.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Limited material options: Traditional 3D printers often have limited material options, restricting the range of objects that can be printed. This invention allows for the use of multiple materials, expanding the possibilities for printing.
  • Clogging and blockages: Clogging and blockages in the print head can disrupt the printing process and result in poor print quality. The heating mechanism in this invention helps regulate the temperature and prevent such issues.
  • Lack of precision and control: The nozzle gripper mechanism and integrated material interfaces provide precise control over the printing process, ensuring accurate deposition of materials.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Versatility: The ability to use different types of materials and colors allows for the creation of diverse and customized objects.
  • Efficiency: The integration of material interfaces and the heating mechanism improve the efficiency of the printing process, reducing downtime and increasing productivity.
  • Precision: The nozzle gripper mechanism and precise control over the printing process result in high-quality prints with fine details and accuracy.
