ADDITIVE MANUFACTURED ARTICLES HAVING COATED SURFACES AND RELATED METHODS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240239047 titled 'ADDITIVE MANUFACTURED ARTICLES HAVING COATED SURFACES AND RELATED METHODS
The patent application relates to additive manufactured articles with coated surfaces and the methods used to create them.
- Forming a three-dimensional (3D) article through additive manufacturing to create a monolithic structure that cannot be constructed by machining.
- Exposing the additive manufactured 3D article to precursor gases to form a coating layer on its surface.
- The additive manufactured articles may include a 3D body with a monolithic structure and a coating layer on its surface.
Potential Applications: - Aerospace industry for lightweight, high-strength components - Medical field for custom implants - Automotive sector for complex parts production
Problems Solved: - Allows for the creation of intricate structures not possible through traditional machining methods - Enhances the durability and functionality of additive manufactured parts
Benefits: - Improved strength and durability of additive manufactured parts - Customizable coatings for specific applications - Cost-effective production of complex components
Commercial Applications: - Manufacturing of aerospace components - Medical device production - Automotive part fabrication
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the coating process impact the overall performance of the additive manufactured articles? 2. What are the potential limitations of using precursor gases for coating additive manufactured parts?
Frequently Updated Research: - Ongoing studies on optimizing coating processes for additive manufactured articles - Research on the impact of different coating materials on the properties of 3D printed parts
Original Abstract Submitted
some embodiments relate to additive manufactured articles having coated surfaces and related methods. the methods may comprise forming a three-dimensional (3d) article by additive manufacturing to obtain an additive manufactured 3d article having a monolithic structure that is not capable of construction by machining, and exposing the additive manufactured 3d article to one or more precursor gases to form a coating layer on a surface of the additive manufactured 3d article. the additive manufactured articles may comprise an additive manufactured three-dimensional (3d) body. the additive manufactured 3d body may have a monolithic structure that is not capable of construction by machining. the additive manufactured 3d body may have a coating layer on a surface of the additive manufactured 3d body.
