Patent number: 11312066Abstract: Provided is a method of making a three-dimensional object, which method may include the steps of: (a) producing an intermediate object (21) from a dual cure polymerizable liquid by additive manufacturing, the intermediate object having the shape of the three-dimensional object in warped or distorted form; (b) optionally washing the intermediate object; then (c) contacting the intermediate to a form (22), which form has a shape corresponding to the three-dimensional object, and with the intermediate conformed to the shape of the form; then (d) further curing the intermediate object in contact with the form to produce the three-dimensional object (24) under conditions in which the three-dimensional object retains a shape conformed to the form after separating therefrom; and then (e) separating the three-dimensional object from the form.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2018Date of Patent: April 26, 2022Assignee: Carbon, Inc.Inventors: Braden Reed Ball, Craig B. Carlson, Gregory W. Dachs, II, Hardik Kabaria, Sean Friedrich Walter McCluskey, R. Griffin Price, Hendric Vogel, Jacques Perrault

Patent number: 11167395Abstract: A constant force expansion construct includes a plurality of expandable layers, each expandable layer including: (a) a longitudinal restricting beam; and (b) a plurality of interconnected flexible biasing struts connecting the longitudinal restricting beam of one expandable layer to another longitudinal restricting beam in a next adjacent expandable layer, the biasing struts being biased toward a compressed position and being movable between the compressed position and an expanded position in which a distance between successive longitudinal restricting beams is increased.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2018Date of Patent: November 9, 2021Assignee: Carbon, Inc.Inventors: Austin M. Merlo, Sean Friedrich Walter McCluskey
