MODEL BASED SUPPORTING SPOKES ACTIVATION TO AID 3D PRINTING - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17824763 titled 'MODEL BASED SUPPORTING SPOKES ACTIVATION TO AID 3D PRINTING
Simplified Explanation
- The patent application describes a printing bed for a 3D printer that is designed to support the printing of 3D objects with overhangs. - The printing bed has an upper surface where droplets land to form the first layer of the 3D object. - The printing bed also includes a support structure that can be activated when the 3D object has an overhang with an angle that exceeds a certain threshold. - The support structure moves from a first position to a second position to provide support for the overhang during the printing process. - This innovation helps to prevent the collapse or distortion of overhanging parts of 3D objects during printing, improving the overall quality and accuracy of the printed objects.
Original Abstract Submitted
A printing bed for a three-dimensional (3D) printer includes an upper surface configured to have a plurality of droplets land thereon to form a first layer of a 3D object. The printing bed also includes a support structure. In response to the 3D object having an overhang with an angle that exceeds a predetermined threshold, the support structure is configured to actuate from a first position into a second position to support the overhang.
