COMPOSITIONS COMPRISING AN ASPHALTITE ADDITIVE FOR ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240270987 titled 'COMPOSITIONS COMPRISING AN ASPHALTITE ADDITIVE FOR ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING

The abstract describes compositions for additive manufacturing applications that may improve printing properties by incorporating an asphaltite additive with a primary build material.

  • The composition includes a primary build material in an amount of 10-99.9 wt. % and an asphaltite additive in an amount of up to 6 wt. %.
  • The asphaltite additive is a solid hydrocarbon-based mineral or solid organic material primarily formed from hydrocarbons, such as gilsonite.
  • These compositions aim to enhance the performance and quality of 3D printing processes.

Potential Applications:

  • These compositions can be used in various additive manufacturing processes, including 3D printing of prototypes, parts, and components.
  • They may find applications in industries such as aerospace, automotive, and healthcare for producing complex and customized parts.

Problems Solved:

  • Improved printing properties, such as better adhesion, strength, and surface finish.
  • Enhanced compatibility with existing additive manufacturing systems.

Benefits:

  • Increased efficiency and accuracy in 3D printing processes.
  • Cost-effective production of high-quality parts.
  • Expanded possibilities for design and customization.

Commercial Applications:

  • "Innovative Compositions for Additive Manufacturing Applications: Enhancing 3D Printing Performance"
  • These compositions have the potential to revolutionize the additive manufacturing industry by improving the quality and efficiency of 3D printing processes.

Questions about Compositions for Additive Manufacturing Applications: 1. How do these compositions compare to traditional materials used in additive manufacturing? 

  These compositions offer improved printing properties and may enhance the overall performance of 3D printing processes.

2. What are the environmental implications of using asphaltite additives in additive manufacturing? 

  The environmental impact of using asphaltite additives should be considered, including factors such as resource extraction and waste management.


Original Abstract Submitted

compositions for additive manufacturing applications are described herein which, in some embodiments, provide improved printing properties. in some embodiments, a composition comprises a primary build material in an amount of 10-99.9 wt. % and an asphaltite additive in an amount of up to 6 wt. %, based on the total weight of the composition. in some cases, the asphaltite additive comprises a solid hydrocarbon-based mineral or a solid organic material formed primarily from hydrocarbons and found in an oil-bearing sedimentary basin, such as gilsonite.
