  • Patent number: 11884015
    Abstract: A system and method for facilitating separation of 3D-printed objects from build platforms. The principle of separation in the present invention involves a build platform configured to be removable or flexible or partially deformable, such that at least a portion of the build platform may be bent or tilted to separate the build platform from the 3D-printed object once the 3D-printing is completed. In some embodiments, a base assembly is adapted to magnetically move a build plate along a surface of the base assembly such that the build plate automatically self-aligns along a boundary of the base assembly and magnetically couples to the base assembly. In some embodiments, a build platform includes a flexible layer with a printable surface and a rigid layer coupled to the flexible layer so that applying a force on the flexible layer deforms a localized portion of the printable surface without deforming the rigid layer.

  • Patent number: 7553101
    Abstract: Provided is a bar-like cosmetic delivering container which is internally sealed and suppresses the cosmetic from forming a play due to negative pressure and prevents the lipstick from contacting the inner surface of a lid sleeve body. The bar-like cosmetic delivering container adapted to project and retract the cosmetic by relative rotation between a receiving sleeve body and an outer sleeve body, wherein a lid sleeve body is provided with a sealing sleeve body adapted to fit on the outer sleeve body, thereby sealing the interior of the container. This ensures that even when the lid sleeve body is opened to release the sealing sleeve body, the receiving sleeve body alone is not internally subjected to negative pressure, preventing the lipstick from floating up or forming a play.
