Patent number: 11925982Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods for generating three-dimensional (3D) objects. The methods may comprise generating a green part corresponding to the 3D object. The green part may comprise a plurality of particles and reactants for conducting a self-propagating reaction. The reactants may be used to conduct a self-propagating reaction that generates heat sufficient to de-bind or pre-sinter the green part. External heat may be supplied to the green part to sinter the plurality of particles, thereby yielding the 3D object. The disclosure also provides methods for generating a 3D object using a resin. The methods may comprise using the resin to generate a green part, heating the green part at a first temperature to decompose a binder in the green part, heating the green part at a second temperature to decompose a polymeric material in the green part, and sintering the green part to yield the 3D object.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 2021Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: HOLO, INC.Inventors: Leroy Magwood, Brian Adzima

Patent number: 11400650Abstract: The present disclosure provides method and systems for printing a three-dimensional (3D) object. A method for 3D printing may comprise providing a mixture comprising (i) a polymeric precursor, (ii) a photoinitiator configured to initiate formation of a polymeric material from the polymeric precursor, and (iii) a photoinhibitor configured to inhibit the formation of the polymeric precursor. The method may comprise exposing the mixture to (i) a first light to cause the photoinitiator to initiate formation of the polymeric material, thereby to print the 3D object, and (ii) a second light to cause the photoinhibitor to inhibit the formation of the polymeric material. During printing of the 3D object, a ratio of (i) an energy of the second light sufficient to initiate formation of the polymeric material relative to (ii) an energy of the first light sufficient to initiate formation of the polymeric material may be greater than 1.Type: GrantFiled: April 7, 2020Date of Patent: August 2, 2022Assignee: Holo, Inc.Inventor: Brian Adzima

Publication number: 20220178626Abstract: The present disclosure provides a thermal management device comprising a vapor chamber, a heat pipe in fluid communication with the vapor chamber, and a fin in thermal contact with the heat pipe. The vapor chamber may contain a first working fluid and may facilitate transfer of thermal energy from a source of thermal energy to the first working fluid. The fin may comprise a fluid flow path configured to direct a second working fluid from a first opening to a second opening. The first opening may be oriented along a first direction of flow towards the fin, and the second opening may be oriented along a second direction different than the first direction. The heat pipe may direct the first working fluid from the vapor chamber through the heat pipe and may facilitate transfer of thermal energy from the first working fluid to the fin or the second working fluid.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 9, 2021Publication date: June 9, 2022Inventors: Arian AGHABABAIE, Brian ADZIMA, Peter SCHMEHL, Daniel CHRISTIANSEN, Harish IRRINKI, Karthik BODLA
