20220009164 | Post-processing 3D Printing Components - A system and method are described for post-processing 3D printed components. Post-processing may include removing support structures for the 3D printed components and may also include other processes like assembling 3D printed components into finished products. In the system and method, post-processing strategies are iteratively generated and performed on 3D printed components. Performance metrics of the post-processing strategies are compared with a user-defined performance indicator in a learning process to improve the post-processing strategy over a number of 3D printed components. | 2022-01-13 |
20220009165 | ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING METHOD FOR DISCHARGING INTERLOCKING CONTINUOUS REINFORCEMENT - An additive manufacturing method is disclosed. The method may include directing into a print head a reinforcement having a continuous axial core and integral branches extending radially outward from the continuous axial core. The method may also include coating the reinforcement in a matrix, and softening a portion of a track of the coated reinforcement that was previously discharged from the print head. The method may further include discharging from the print head a track of the coated reinforcement adjacent the previously discharged track of the coated reinforcement, such that cross-bonding of the integral branches occurs between the discharging track of the coated reinforcement and the softened portion of the previously discharged track of the coated reinforcement. | 2022-01-13 |
