EXTRUSION-BASED ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING: METHOD, 3D PRINTING SYSTEM AND 3D PART - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240351291 titled 'EXTRUSION-BASED ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING: METHOD, 3D PRINTING SYSTEM AND 3D PART
The abstract describes a method for preventing detachment of a 3D part from a build plate in a 3D printing system using an extrusion-based additive manufacturing process. The method involves creating an intermediate structure on the build plate with a larger surface area than the print area required for the 3D part. Tracks of extruded feedstock material are then printed to fabricate the 3D part and at least one auxiliary structure placed next to the 3D part to prevent detachment. The auxiliary structure covers less than 50% of the surface of the intermediate structure.
- The method involves creating an intermediate structure on the build plate with a larger surface area than the print area required for the 3D part.
- Tracks of extruded feedstock material are printed to fabricate the 3D part.
- At least one auxiliary structure is placed next to the 3D part to prevent detachment.
- The auxiliary structure covers less than 50% of the surface of the intermediate structure.
- This innovation aims to improve the adhesion of 3D printed parts to the build plate, reducing the risk of detachment during the printing process.
Potential Applications: - Manufacturing of complex 3D printed parts with intricate geometries. - Enhancing the reliability and efficiency of extrusion-based additive manufacturing processes.
Problems Solved: - Prevents detachment of 3D parts from the build plate during the printing process. - Improves the overall quality and success rate of 3D printing projects.
Benefits: - Increased adhesion and stability of 3D printed parts. - Reduces the need for manual intervention or support structures during printing. - Enhances the overall performance and reliability of extrusion-based additive manufacturing systems.
Commercial Applications: Title: Enhanced Adhesion Method for 3D Printing Systems This technology can be utilized in industries such as aerospace, automotive, healthcare, and consumer goods for the production of high-quality, reliable 3D printed parts.
Questions about 3D Printing Adhesion: 1. How does the auxiliary structure prevent detachment of 3D parts during the printing process? The auxiliary structure acts as a support system, enhancing the adhesion of the 3D part to the build plate, thereby preventing detachment.
2. What are the potential implications of improved adhesion in extrusion-based additive manufacturing processes? Improved adhesion can lead to higher success rates in printing complex geometries and reduce the need for post-processing or reprints due to detachment issues.
Original Abstract Submitted
a method for preventing detachment of a 3d part from a build plate of a 3d printing system for fabricating the 3d part using an extrusion-based additive manufacturing process. the method includes providing an intermediate structure on top of the build plate, the intermediate structure having a surface that is larger than a print area required for printing the 3d part on top of the intermediate structure, and printing tracks of extruded feedstock material to fabricate the 3d part and at least one auxiliary structure that is arranged next to the 3d part for preventing detachment of the 3d part from the build plate. herein, the at least one auxiliary structure covers less than 50% of the surface of the intermediate structure. a 3d printing system for performing the method, and a 3d part fabricated using an extrusion-based additive manufacturing process performed by said 3d printing system.
