Inventor(s): Steven James Craigen of Auburn WA US for blue origin llc, Ramiro Cecchet of Seattle WA US for blue origin llc, Michael J. Panzarella of Seattle WA US for blue origin llc, Brian Barnes of Burien WA US for blue origin llc
IPC Code(s): B22F10/37, B22F10/85, B22F12/67, B33Y10/00, B33Y30/00, B33Y50/02
CPC Code(s): B22F10/37
Abstract: additive manufacturing systems and associated methods are disclosed herein. in some embodiments, the additive manufacturing system includes a build chamber that has an active build region, a support platform positioned in the active build region and movable in an upward direction, and a recoater arm positioned in the build chamber and movable in a first lateral direction above the active build region. the recoater arm can spread a powder over the active build region during a build process using first and second blades. the recoater arm can also include at least one orifice component positioned between the first and second blades to block a flow of the powder while the at least one orifice component is stationary and a vibrational component operably coupled to the at least one orifice component. the additive manufacturing system can also include a controller operably coupled to the vibrational component, to control operation of the vibrational component.

CPC Code(s): B22F12/70
Abstract: additive manufacturing systems and associated methods are disclosed herein. in some embodiments, the additive manufacturing system includes a build chamber that has active build region, a support platform positioned in the active build region, a recoater arm, and a chamber-purging system. the recoater arm is movable in a lateral direction along a travel path above the active build region to spread a powder over the active build region. the chamber-purging system includes extendable input and return channels that are movable between a first position outside the travel path and a second position at least partially within the travel path.

CPC Code(s): B29C64/357
Abstract: additive manufacturing systems and associated methods are disclosed herein. in some embodiments, the additive manufacturing includes a build chamber that has a central portion and a peripheral portion, a support platform positioned in the central portion and a recoater arm movable in a lateral direction over the support platform. while moving, the recoater arm spreads a powder over the central portion during a build. the additive manufacturing system also includes a powder recycling system positioned to redirect excess amounts of the powder during the build. for example, the powder recycling system can include a powder receptacle positioned the second region of the peripheral portion and a recycling element positioned at least partially in the powder receptacle. the recycling element is movable between a first position abutting an overflow space in the powder receptacle to receive the excess powder and a second position closer to the central portion.
