ABNORMALITY DETERMINATION DEVICE AND ABNORMALITY DETERMINATION METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240233364 titled 'ABNORMALITY DETERMINATION DEVICE AND ABNORMALITY DETERMINATION METHOD
The abstract describes an abnormality determination device for an additive manufacturing apparatus used to build parts with a three-dimensional shape. The device detects layering faults in the membrane formed by a blade in the build area, which consists of ceramic particles and photocurable resin.
- The device includes a controller that performs abnormality determination based on images captured by an image sensor.
- It detects linear abnormal portions in the membrane, indicating layering faults, based on the captured images.
- The abnormality determination device helps ensure the quality of the parts being built using additive manufacturing technology.
Potential Applications: - Quality control in additive manufacturing processes - Improving the reliability and consistency of 3D printed parts - Enhancing the overall efficiency of additive manufacturing operations
Problems Solved: - Detecting and addressing layering faults in additive manufacturing - Ensuring the structural integrity of 3D printed parts - Enhancing the overall quality control processes in additive manufacturing
Benefits: - Increased accuracy and precision in 3D printing - Reduction of defects and waste in additive manufacturing - Improved overall efficiency and reliability in part production
Commercial Applications: Title: "Advanced Abnormality Detection Device for Additive Manufacturing" This technology can be utilized in industries such as aerospace, automotive, healthcare, and consumer goods for high-quality part production.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the abnormality determination device improve the quality of additive manufacturing processes? 2. What are the specific benefits of using ceramic particles and photocurable resin in additive manufacturing?
Original Abstract Submitted
an abnormality determination device for an additive manufacturing apparatus for building a part having three-dimensional shape by repeatedly forming a membrane of raw material and forming a cured layer having two-dimensional shape, the membrane formed by a blade in a build area, the raw material including ceramic particles and photocurable resin, the cured layer formed by irradiating the membrane with light in the build area, the abnormality determination device includes a controller configured to perform abnormality determination based on an image captured by an image sensor, the controller is configured to acquire the image of the membrane captured by the image sensor, detect a linear abnormal portion appearing in the membrane as a line extending along a movement direction of the blade based on the acquired image of the membrane, and determine that layering fault has occurred in response to detection of the linear abnormal portion.
