  • Patent number: 11097482
    Abstract: A three-dimensional (3D) object printer includes a surface treatment system configured to treat layers of an object being formed by the printer with a moving ultraviolet (UV) laser. The movement of the laser is controlled with a scanning mirror system and the spot size of the laser is reduced with a focus lens having a numerical aperture in a range of about 0.5 to about 1.0.

  • Patent number: 11097500
    Abstract: In a method for producing a hull wall of a fiber composite sandwich component, shaped bodies of extruded polystyrene hard foam are enveloped with an envelope of fiber composite material with fibers oriented at least bidirectionally. The enveloped shaped bodies have a shape for forming a hull wall and are placed next to each other in a vacuum injection structure on a lower cover layer of fiber composite material. An upper cover layer of fiber composite material is placed on top of the enveloped shaped bodies and the vacuum injection structure is sealed. Matrix material is introduced and distributed in the vacuum injection structure until the fiber composite material of the envelopes and of the upper and lower cover layers is impregnated completely with the matrix material. The matrix material is cured and the fiber composite sandwich component of the hull wall is removed from the vacuum injection structure.

  • Patent number: 11007682
    Abstract: A double-shaft rotating structure applicable to electric heating forming equipment, comprising: a main shaft, a shell, a first auxiliary shaft, two second auxiliary shafts, a third auxiliary shaft, two first collector slip rings, a second collector slip ring, two fixed disks and a plurality of electric heating elements. The double-shaft rotating structure applicable to electric heating forming equipment may enable a mold on the forming equipment to achieve double-shaft continuous rotation; furthermore, the structure is relatively simple while covering a small floor area, energy-saving and environmentally-friendly, and relatively low-cost.

  • Patent number: 10987859
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for forming three-dimensional objects by photo-curing a photo-curing liquid polymer exposed to a radiation in a space between a base transparent to the radiation and a supporting plate. The supporting plate moves progressively, in some cases continuously, away from said transparent base during the printing process, and that movement is characterized in that it is tilting, swinging, rotating, and/or swirling in three-dimensional space, based on the print geometry, in order to expedite printing speed and resin propagation throughout the build area. In one embodiment, the movement may resemble a spiral or helical path from the standpoint of points around its circumference.

  • Patent number: 10777337
    Abstract: An electronic device wire conductor formation method includes the steps of using a plastic injection molding machine to create an insulative plastic block, operating a top mold of a transfer-printing equipment to reciprocate an adhesive-applying portion along a transfer-printing portion of a bottom mold for causing the adhesive-applying portion to coat a molten conductive adhesive evenly on the transfer-printing portion, inverting the insulative plastic block to attach molding units thereof onto the transfer-printing portion of the bottom mold for enabling the molten conductive adhesive to be transfer-printed onto U-shaped plates of the molding units, and finally removing the insulative plastic block from the bottom mold and then curing the coated conductive adhesive to form individual conductors on the respective U-shaped plate of molding units.

  • Patent number: 10773455
    Abstract: A 3D slicing and printing method using strengthened auxiliary wall is provided. The method is to control a 3D printer (3) to retrieve multiple layers of object print data corresponding to a 3D object (90), and multiple layers of wall print data and raft print data, print multiple layers of raft slice physical models (400,60) on a print platform (307) layer by layer according to the raft print data, print multiple layers of wall slice physical models (420-421,80-81) on the printed raft slice physical models (400,60) layer by layer according to the wall print data, and print multiple layers of 3D slice physical models (50-53,70-71) layer by layer according to the object print data during printing the raft slice physical models (400,60) and the wall slice physical models (420-421,80-81). It can effectively prevent the auxiliary wall (42,8) from collapsing and failure of printing a whole 3D physical model (5,7) via making a raft structure (40,6) be arranged under the auxiliary wall (42,8).
