AIR-PERMEABLE PLATFORMS FOR ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18030691 titled 'AIR-PERMEABLE PLATFORMS FOR ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING
Simplified Explanation
- The patent application describes an additive manufacturing stage, which is a component used in 3D printing. - The stage includes a bed that defines the space where a 3D object will be created. - It also includes an air-permeable platform, which is a surface that allows air to pass through. - Build material, which is the material used to create the 3D object, is deposited on the air-permeable platform. - The stage also has a vacuum system that draws the air out of the build material through the air-permeable platform. - This design helps to remove any trapped air from the build material, which can improve the quality and strength of the final 3D object.
Original Abstract Submitted
In one example in accordance with the present disclosure, an additive manufacturing stage is described. The additive manufacturing stage includes a bed to define a volume where a three-dimensional object is to be formed. The additive manufacturing stage also includes an air-permeable platform on which build material is deposited. A vacuum system draws air resident in the build material down through the air-permeable platform.
