Patent number: 10870230Abstract: A system and method are presented in which a flow of plastic is extruded to obtain nano-sized features by forming multiple laminated flow streams, flowing in parallel through the non-rotating extrusion system. Each of the parallel laminated flow streams are subjected to repeated steps in which the flows are compressed, divided, and overlapped to amplify the number of laminations. The parallel amplified laminated flows are rejoined to form a combined laminated output with nano-sized features. The die exit is formed to provide a tubular shape.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 2016Date of Patent: December 22, 2020Assignee: Guill Tool & Engineering Co., Inc.Inventors: Richard Roy Guillemette, Robert Peters, Christopher J Hummel

Publication number: 20200346398Abstract: The present invention relates to 3D printer inputs including filaments comprising separated layers or sections. These inputs particularly including filaments may be prepared by coextrusion, microlayer coextrusion or multicomponent/fractal coextrusion. These inputs and specifically filaments enable layering or combining different materials simultaneously through one or more nozzles during the so-called 3D printing process. These techniques facilitate smaller layer sizes (milli, micro, and nano) different layer configurations as well as the potential to incorporate materials that would otherwise not be usable in standard 3D printer methods.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 22, 2020Publication date: November 5, 2020Applicant: Guill Tool & Engineering Co., Inc.Inventors: Richard Guillemette, Robert Peters
