ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ABRASIVE ARTICLES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240278496 titled 'ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ABRASIVE ARTICLES
The method described in the patent application involves additive manufacturing of an abrasive article layer-by-layer using a slurry containing a mixture of liquid and abrasive particles, cured by a radiation source before each new layer is deposited.
- The method includes depositing a layer of slurry containing liquid and abrasive particles.
- A radiation source is applied to cure the layer of slurry before depositing a new layer.
- The radiation source utilizes a rotating exposure technique for curing.
- This additive manufacturing process allows for precise control over the fabrication of abrasive articles.
- The layer-by-layer approach ensures uniform distribution of abrasive particles throughout the article.
Potential Applications: - Manufacturing of abrasive tools such as grinding wheels, polishing pads, and cutting discs. - Production of customized abrasive articles for specific industrial applications. - Prototyping and rapid manufacturing of abrasive components for research and development purposes.
Problems Solved: - Provides a more efficient and controlled method for manufacturing abrasive articles. - Enables the production of complex geometries with precise abrasive particle distribution. - Reduces material waste compared to traditional manufacturing methods.
Benefits: - Enhanced precision and control in the fabrication of abrasive articles. - Customizable designs for specific industrial needs. - Improved efficiency and reduced material waste in the manufacturing process.
Commercial Applications: Title: Additive Manufacturing of Abrasive Articles for Industrial Use This technology can be utilized in industries such as manufacturing, construction, automotive, and aerospace for the production of high-quality abrasive tools and components. The ability to customize abrasive articles for specific applications can lead to increased efficiency and cost savings for businesses.
Questions about Additive Manufacturing of Abrasive Articles: 1. How does the layer-by-layer approach improve the fabrication of abrasive articles? 2. What are the potential cost-saving benefits of using this additive manufacturing method for abrasive tools?
