  • Method and apparatus for providing pre-manufacturing feedback on the design of an object to be formed through solidification of a fluid in a mold
    Patent number: 11734466
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method, computer program, system and apparatus for computing a thermal thickness and providing pre-manufacturing feedback on a design of a three-dimensional physical object that is to be formed by solidification of a fluid in a mold. An equation is solved, representing heat release through the cavity-mold interface when the object is formed. The thermal thickness and its uniformity provide insight in the manufacturability of the object, and may be used to automatically generate pre-manufacturing feedback. The thermal thickness and pre-manufacturing feedback are transmitted or displayed to a user.
