SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR THREE-DIMENSIONAL PRINTING - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240342983 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR THREE-DIMENSIONAL PRINTING
The disclosure presents systems and methods for 3D manufacturing of striation-free objects using volumetric additive manufacturing (VAM) techniques. The process involves irradiating a photocurable resin for a pre-gelation duration followed by energy delivery with a diffuse curing system to create a 3D printed object without striations.
- Utilizes volumetric additive manufacturing (VAM) techniques
- Involves irradiation of a photocurable resin for pre-gelation
- Subsequent energy delivery with a diffuse curing system
- Produces 3D printed objects without striations
- Ensures high-quality, smooth surface finish
Potential Applications: This technology can be applied in various industries such as aerospace, automotive, medical, and consumer goods for manufacturing complex, high-quality parts without striations.
Problems Solved: Addresses the issue of striations in 3D printed objects, ensuring a smooth surface finish and high-quality end products.
Benefits: Produces striation-free 3D printed objects with a high level of detail and accuracy, suitable for a wide range of applications across different industries.
Commercial Applications: This technology can be used in industries such as aerospace, automotive, medical, and consumer goods for manufacturing high-quality, complex parts with a smooth surface finish.
Questions about 3D Manufacturing of Striation-Free Objects: 1. How does this technology compare to traditional 3D printing methods in terms of surface finish quality?
- The technology offers a superior surface finish quality compared to traditional 3D printing methods due to the elimination of striations.
2. What are the potential cost implications of implementing this technology in manufacturing processes?
- The cost implications may vary depending on the scale of production and materials used, but the technology's ability to produce high-quality parts could offset initial costs in the long run.
