BUILD PLATE WITH INTERCHANGEABLE INSERT TO REDUCE LIFT-UP DURING METAL 3D PRINTING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240342802 titled 'BUILD PLATE WITH INTERCHANGEABLE INSERT TO REDUCE LIFT-UP DURING METAL 3D PRINTING

The abstract describes a patent application for a build plate assembly used in a 3D printing device, consisting of a body with an interior cavity and a solid metal insert for creating 3D printed metal objects.

  • Body dimensioned for use in a 3D printing device
  • Solid insert made of metal or metal alloy
  • Interior cavity in the body with an opening at one side
  • Solid insert has a top surface for forming 3D printed metal objects
  • Insert can slide into the body through the opening

Potential Applications: - Manufacturing of metal parts in 3D printing - Prototyping of metal components - Custom jewelry design

Problems Solved: - Facilitates the creation of metal objects in a 3D printing device - Provides a stable platform for printing metal parts

Benefits: - Allows for the production of complex metal objects - Enhances the capabilities of 3D printing technology - Increases efficiency in metal fabrication processes

Commercial Applications: - Metalworking industries - Jewelry making businesses - Research and development labs

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the build plate assembly improve the quality of 3D printed metal objects? 2. What are the advantages of using a solid metal insert in the build plate assembly?


Original Abstract Submitted

some implementations of the disclosure are directed to a build plate assembly including a body dimensioned for use in a 3d printing device, and a solid insert of a metal or metal alloy. the body includes an interior cavity formed through a top of the body, and extending to an opening at a first side of the body. the solid insert includes a top surface for forming a 3d printed metal object in the 3d printing device. the solid insert is configured to slidably couple, through the opening at the first side of the body, into the interior cavity of the body.
