Patents by Inventor Steven Matthew GUNTHER

Steven Matthew GUNTHER has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 10183329
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses to fabricate additive manufactured parts with in-process monitoring are described. As parts are formed layer-by-layer, a 3D measurement of each layer or layer group may be acquired. The acquisition of dimensional data may be performed at least partially in parallel with the formation of layers. The dimensional data may be accumulated until the part is fully formed, resulting in a part that was completely inspected as it was built. The as-built measurement data may be compared to the input geometrical description of the desired part shape. Where the part fails to meet tolerance, it may be amended during the build process or rejected.

  • Patent number: 9489724
    Abstract: A method of displaying. The method includes using a system including three-dimensional stereoscopic projection equipment to project an image onto a complex surface of a physical object disposed in an area. The complex surface includes at least one curve or angle. The system also includes a device worn by a user or disposed on a mobile device. The method further includes warping the image based on a geometry of the complex surface, tracking a position and orientation of the user or the mobile device, and further warping the image based on the position and orientation.
