  • Publication number: 20240131789
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides various three-dimensional (3D) objects, some of which comprise a wire or 3D plane. Disclosed herein are methods, apparatus, software, and systems for their generation that may reduce or eliminate the need for auxiliary support during the formation of the 3D objects. The methods, apparatuses, software, and systems of the present disclosure may allow the formation of objects with short, diminished number, and/or spaced apart auxiliary support structures. These 3D objects may be objects with adjacent surfaces such as hanging structures and planar hollow 3D objects.

  • Publication number: 20240091855
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides three-dimensional (3D) printing methods, apparatuses, systems and software that effectuate formation of a robust 3D object comprising at least one metal alloy. The 3D object may be formed by 3D printing. The 3D object may comprise diminished defects (e.g., heat cracks). The alloy may be formed by diffusion. The diffusion may be a controlled diffusion. The control may comprise (e.g., real time) temperature control during the formation of the 3D object. The 3D object may comprise controlled crystal structure and/or metallurgical phases.

  • Publication number: 20240018626
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides three dimensional (3D) printing processes, apparatuses, software, and systems for the production of a 3D object. These may reduce deformation (e.g., warping or bending) in the printed 3D object, as well as facilitate the formation of nested 3D objects. The reduction of deformation may comprise open loop control and/or deviation form a model of the 3D object to generate the 3D object.
