METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING BASED ON MULTI-AXIS BUILD PLATFORMS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240326331 titled 'METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING BASED ON MULTI-AXIS BUILD PLATFORMS
The abstract describes a system and method for adding two-axis to a multi-axis additive manufacturing system. The system includes a build platform and a two-axis build portion rotationally coupled to the planar build portion about a first axis, with the two-axis build platform further able to rotate about a second axis perpendicular to the first axis. The build platform can operate in predictive or nonpredictive modes, with a motion processor predicting a next-state machine control code for controlling the position of the two-axis build portion.
- The system adds two-axis capability to a multi-axis additive manufacturing system.
- It includes a build platform and a two-axis build portion that can rotate about two different axes.
- The build platform can operate in predictive or nonpredictive modes, with a motion processor predicting the next-state machine control code.
- This innovation enhances the flexibility and precision of additive manufacturing processes.
- The system allows for more complex and intricate designs to be produced with greater accuracy.
Potential Applications:
- Aerospace industry for manufacturing complex components

Original Abstract Submitted
a system and method for adding two-axis to a multi-axis additive manufacturing system. the system may include a build platform and a two-axis build portion rotationally coupled to the planar build portion about a first axis, the two-axis build platform further being configured to rotate about a second axis, the second axis being perpendicular to the first axis. the build platform may be used in connection with a predictive or a nonpredictive method of operation. in the predictive mode, a motion processor predicts a next-state machine control code for controlling a position of the two-axis build portion.
