EXTRUSION HEAD FOR ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING, ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING SYSTEM AND METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240375345 titled 'EXTRUSION HEAD FOR ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING, ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING SYSTEM AND METHOD
Simplified Explanation: The abstract describes an extrusion head for additive manufacturing that includes a supply chamber, inlet ports for material input, and multiple extrusion nozzles for material extrusion.
- The extrusion head has an enclosure with a supply chamber for material.
- Inlet ports allow material to enter the supply chamber under pressure.
- Multiple extrusion nozzles are connected to the supply chamber for material extrusion.
- The nozzles are arranged with a specific spacing between each other for precise extrusion.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Enclosure with supply chamber for material input.
- Inlet ports for material under pressure.
- Multiple extrusion nozzles for material extrusion.
- Precise arrangement of nozzles for accurate extrusion.
Potential Applications: The extrusion head can be used in various additive manufacturing processes such as 3D printing, rapid prototyping, and customized manufacturing.
Problems Solved: The extrusion head addresses the need for precise and controlled material extrusion in additive manufacturing processes.
Benefits:
- Accurate and controlled material extrusion.
- Enhanced precision in additive manufacturing.
- Improved quality of printed objects.
Commercial Applications: The extrusion head can be utilized in industries such as aerospace, automotive, healthcare, and consumer goods for prototyping, production, and customization.
Questions about Extrusion Heads: 1. How does the extrusion head improve the quality of additive manufacturing processes? 2. What are the potential cost-saving benefits of using an extrusion head in manufacturing processes?
Original Abstract Submitted
an extrusion head for additive manufacturing includes an enclosure defining a supply chamber. the enclosure includes at least one inlet port opening into the supply chamber and configured to receive a material to be extruded under pressure and a plurality of extrusion nozzles. each nozzle is in communication with the supply chamber and opens onto the exterior of the enclosure via an outlet orifice. the nozzles of the plurality of nozzles are arranged adjacent to one another with a determined spacing between each nozzle outlet orifice.
