ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING ASSISTANCE DEVICE, ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING DEVICE, ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING ASSISTANCE METHOD, AND PROGRAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240278346 titled 'ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING ASSISTANCE DEVICE, ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING DEVICE, ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING ASSISTANCE METHOD, AND PROGRAM

The abstract of this patent application describes an additive manufacturing support device that acquires information on the shape model of an object and the load condition applied to it. The device then analyzes the stress in each portion of the object to determine the maximum principal stress direction, and uses this information to determine the forming direction of a weld bead.

  • The building condition acquisition unit acquires information on the shape model of an object and the load condition applied to it.
  • The stress analysis unit determines the maximum principal stress direction generated in each portion of the object based on the acquired shape model and load condition.
  • The trajectory determination unit determines the forming direction of a weld bead based on the maximum principal stress direction and the load condition.

Potential Applications: - Additive manufacturing processes - 3D printing technology - Industrial manufacturing

Problems Solved: - Optimizing the forming direction of weld beads - Improving the structural integrity of objects produced through additive manufacturing

Benefits: - Enhanced efficiency in additive manufacturing processes - Increased strength and durability of manufactured objects - Reduction in material waste

Commercial Applications: Title: "Advanced Additive Manufacturing Support Device for Enhanced Structural Integrity" This technology can be used in industries such as aerospace, automotive, and medical devices to produce high-quality, durable components with optimized structural integrity.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does this additive manufacturing support device improve the quality of manufactured objects? - This device optimizes the forming direction of weld beads based on stress analysis, resulting in enhanced structural integrity. 2. What industries can benefit the most from the use of this technology? - Industries such as aerospace, automotive, and medical devices can benefit from the improved efficiency and durability of components produced using this technology.


Original Abstract Submitted

an additive manufacturing support device includes a building condition acquisition unit configured to acquire information on a shape model of an object and a load condition applied to the object; a stress analysis unit configured to determine a maximum principal stress direction generated in each portion of the object, by stress analysis based on the acquired shape model and load condition; and a trajectory determination unit configured to determine a forming direction of a weld bead on the basis of the maximum principal stress direction and the load condition.
