ADDITIVELY MANUFACTURED NON-UNIFORM POROUS MATERIALS AND COMPONENTS IN-SITU WITH FULLY MATERIAL, AND RELATED METHODS, SYSTEMS AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240351100 titled 'ADDITIVELY MANUFACTURED NON-UNIFORM POROUS MATERIALS AND COMPONENTS IN-SITU WITH FULLY MATERIAL, AND RELATED METHODS, SYSTEMS AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT
Simplified Explanation: This patent application describes a method for additively manufacturing a non-uniform porous material in-situ with dense material, allowing for the creation of parts with both porous and dense sections without the need for secondary processes.
- Additively manufactured porous material can be tuned for porosity and density.
- The material can be built in-situ with dense material.
- The porous material can be tuned for response to pressure waves.
Potential Applications: 1. Aerospace components requiring both porous and dense sections. 2. Medical implants with tailored porosity for improved integration. 3. Energy absorption materials for impact protection.
Problems Solved: 1. Eliminates the need for secondary processes to combine porous and dense materials. 2. Provides a method for creating complex parts with varying material properties in a single build.
Benefits: 1. Simplifies manufacturing processes. 2. Allows for customization of material properties in a single part. 3. Enhances performance in applications requiring both porous and dense materials.
Commercial Applications: The technology could be used in industries such as aerospace, medical devices, and automotive manufacturing to create parts with tailored material properties in a single build.
Questions about Additively Manufactured Non-Uniform Porous Material In-Situ with Dense Material: 1. How does this technology compare to traditional methods of combining porous and dense materials in manufacturing? 2. What are the potential cost savings associated with using this in-situ additive manufacturing method?
Original Abstract Submitted
an additively manufactured non-uniform porous material in-situ with dense material for the in situ additive manufacturing of both porous and dense material in the same part so that no secondary process is required. the additively manufactured non-uniform porous material in-situ with dense material generally includes additively manufactured porous material which can be tuned for porosity and density, has the ability to be built in situ with dense material, and can also be tuned for response to pressure waves. also included are computer program products, methods and components and systems manufactured using the methods.
