Abstract: An additive manufacturing apparatus can include a stage configured to hold one or more cured layers of resin that form a component. A radiant energy device can be operable to generate and project radiant energy in a patterned image. An actuator can be configured to change a relative position of the stage relative to the radiant energy device. A reclamation system can be downstream of the stage and can be configured to remove at least a portion of the resin from a resin support. The reclamation system can include a first collection structure configured to accept a resin support therethrough along a resin support movement direction. A first scraper is positioned within the first collection structure. The first scraper has an elongation axis that is offset from the resin support movement direction by an offset angle that is less than 90 degrees.

Abstract: Various embodiments of the present application set forth a computer-implemented method comprising determining a set of digital assets to transfer to a destination device, generating, from the set of digital assets, a corresponding set of chunks, where each chunk is a pre-defined size, for each chunk in the set of chunks, transmitting the chunk to a service node included in a set of service nodes, and verifying that the service node received the chunk, where the set of service nodes receives at least two chunks of the set of chunks in parallel, and after the set of service nodes send the at least two chunks in parallel to the destination device, verifying that the destination device received the set of chunks.

Abstract: The invention relates to a powder press, comprising a tool structure, which has a conical substructure having lower rams nested in each other, wherein each lower ram has a longitudinal extent, in particular a cylindrical longitudinal extent, which is guided in a die, wherein, in the case of at least two longitudinal extents of the lower rams, each longitudinal extent is adjoined by a conical enlargement, wherein the conical enlargements can be guided in each other, wherein the region of the conical enlargement has an inner wall and an outer wall, which expand conically and which are preferably longer than the longitudinal extent. The invention further relates to a method for operating a powder press and to a computer program product having computer program code means that can be executed on a computer system in order to perform the method.
