20220297187 | OPERATION OF THREE-DIMENSIONAL PRINTER COMPONENTS - The present disclosure provides three-dimensional (3D) printing systems, apparatuses, methods and non-transitory computer readable media for the production of at least one desired 3D object. The 3D printer described herein comprises, inter alia, an opening that comprises a first side and a second side. A component of the 3D printing, such as a layer dispenser, may be conveyed from the first side of the opening to the second side of the opening (e.g., and vice versa) during the 3D printing. The opening may be closable. A closure of the opening may seclude the component during at least a portion of the 3D printing. Additional features relating to components of the 3D printing systems are described herein. | 2022-09-22 |
20220297188 | APPARATUS FOR PRODUCING AN OBJECT BY MEANS OF ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING - An apparatus for producing an object by additive manufacturing including a process chamber for receiving a bath of material configured to be solidified, wherein a surface level of the bath of material defines an object working area. A support positions an object to be produced in relation to the surface level. A plurality of solidifying devices are configured to solidify a selective part of the bath of material and operate in substantially the entire object working area. A controller individually controls each of the plurality of solidifying devices such that each device can operate on in a different part of the object working area. A method for producing an object using the apparatus. | 2022-09-22 |
20220297189 | LASER MELTING ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING EQUIPMENT WITH ANTI-TURBULENCE SHIELDS - Additive manufacturing equipment includes a laser head intended to emit a laser beam defining a longitudinal axis (X), a first, a second, and a third container respectively aligned in a first transverse plane substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis (X), the three containers each including a movable plate that can move along the longitudinal axis (X), each plate being intended to receive a thickness of powder of which the free ends define three powder beds aligned in a second transverse plane, the equipment additionally including a movable scraper intended to move in a third plane transverse with respect to the surface of the containers so as to be in contact with each of the powder beds. The equipment includes a first and a second movable shield that are intended to move in the same third transverse plane as the movable scraper. | 2022-09-22 |
20220297190 | SELF-TERMINATING ETCHING INTERFACES USING IODINE-BASED CHEMISTRIES - A method is provided to remove a selective amount of material from a metal component fabricated by additive manufacturing in a self-terminating manner. The method can be used to remove support structures and trapped powder from a metal component as well as to smooth surfaces of a 3D printed metal component. In some embodiments, selected surfaces of the metal component are treated to make the selected surfaces at least one of mechanically and chemically unstable. The unstable portion of the metal support can then be removed chemically, electrochemically, or through vapor-phase etching. The method can be used for processing any fluid or vapor-accessible regions and surfaces of a 3D printed metal component. | 2022-09-22 |
