PRINT HEAD FOR 3D PRINTING OF METALS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240246154 titled 'PRINT HEAD FOR 3D PRINTING OF METALS
The invention pertains to a print head for a 3D printer, specifically designed for metal printing. It includes a housing, a metal feeding device, a piston, a reservoir with an outlet opening, and an actuator device for moving the piston. The reservoir features a melting region and a displacement body chamber for the liquid phase of the metal, connected in a way that allows the metal to pass through the outlet opening when the piston is displaced. The housing is multi-part and includes cooling flanges, an insulating plate, and the reservoir.
