  • Patent number: 10583481
    Abstract: A part obtained by selective melting of a powder on a support plate, this part comprising a main element and rigid secondary elements, these secondary elements supporting the main element between a lower surface of this main element and the support plate. Secondary elements are intended to be detached from the main element. The lower surface of the main element thus comprises a first surface portion and at least one second surface portion, and the first surface portion makes, with the support plate, an angle ?1 of less than a predetermined value, and the second surface portion makes, with this support plate, an angle ?2 greater than or equal to this predetermined value. The first surface portion is therefore entirely supported by the secondary elements and the second surface portion is partially supported by the secondary elements. The predetermined value is between 20° and 30°.

  • Publication number: 20200055167
    Abstract: In a method for an electric pulse tool, which is configured to deliver torque pulses on an output shaft, in each of a plurality of periods, a current pulse is provided to an electric motor during a current-on time and a current feed is paused during a current-off time. The method includes retrieving a parameter reflecting an amount of reaction force that the operator of the electric pulse tool can be exposed to, and determining the current-off time based on the parameter. The determined current off time includes a first off interval until an end of a torque pulse and a second off interval after the end of the torque pulse. The second off interval is based on a width of the torque pulse, such that a wider torque pulse results in a wider off interval and a narrower torque pulse results in a shorter off interval.
