ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING METHOD, ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING APPARATUS, AND ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

  • This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18024516 Titled 'ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING METHOD, ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING APPARATUS, AND ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING SYSTEM'

Simplified Explanation

This abstract describes a method of additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing. The method involves measuring the temperature of the object being processed and using that data to correct the commands given to the printer. These commands include supplying the material, providing a heat source to melt the material, moving the printer head, and supplying a shielding gas. Overall, this method aims to improve the accuracy and quality of the 3D printing process.


Original Abstract Submitted

An additive manufacturing method includes a step of measuring a temperature of an object of processing or a shaping material and outputting temperature data, a step of correcting basic commands based on a basic processing program and the temperature data, and determining post-correction commands including a material supply command, a heat source supply unit command, a drive command, and a gas supply command, a step of supplying the shaping material to a processing position of a shaped article based on the material supply command, a step of supplying a heat source to melt the shaping material supplied to the processing position based on the heat source supply unit command, a step of changing the relative position between the processing position and the shaped article based on the drive command, and a step of supplying, to the processing position, a shielding gas based on the gas supply command.
