AN IMPROVED METHOD FOR 3D PRINTING - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18578944 titled 'AN IMPROVED METHOD FOR 3D PRINTING
The present invention involves a method for manufacturing a 3D article using 3D printing. The method includes printing a 3D structure, cooling it, heating one of its surfaces, deforming it in a different plane, and then cooling the final 3D article.
- Printing a 3D structure in a first plane with two surfaces.
- Cooling the 3D structure.
- Heating one of the surfaces of the 3D structure.
- Deforming the 3D structure in a second plane to create a 3D article.
- Cooling the final 3D article.
Potential Applications: - Manufacturing of complex 3D articles with unique shapes. - Customized production of 3D objects with specific deformations.
Problems Solved: - Allows for the creation of intricate 3D structures that would be challenging to produce using traditional methods. - Enables the production of personalized 3D articles with tailored deformations.
Benefits: - Increased design flexibility in 3D printing. - Enhanced customization options for manufacturing unique objects.
Commercial Applications: - Customized jewelry production. - Prototyping of innovative product designs.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does this method compare to traditional manufacturing techniques in terms of efficiency and cost-effectiveness? 2. Are there limitations to the complexity of shapes that can be achieved using this method?
Frequently Updated Research: - Stay updated on advancements in 3D printing technology for potential improvements in the manufacturing process.
Original Abstract Submitted
The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a 3D article () by means of 3D printing, the method comprising the steps of: a) printing a 3D structure (′) extending in a first plane and comprising a first surface () and a second surface (′) being opposite to the first surface (); b) cooling the 3D structure (′); c) heating the one of the first and the second surfaces (′) of the 3D structure (′); d) deforming the 3D structure (′) in a second plane deviating from the first plane, such that a 3D article () is obtained; c) cooling the 3D article ().
