  • Publication number: 20220350305
    Abstract: Systems and methods for producing more accurate, intricate structures via digital light processing additive manufacturing are provided. One or more digital transformations, or filters, are applied to 2D-images used to print the part to help eliminate the effects of scatter. The digital transformations can lead to higher doses of light to be applied to edges and smaller features while limiting an amount of exposure to light of larger features to avoid over-curing of the larger features. This can help keep the integrity of certain designs, such as lattices and other structures that are intended to have some porosity. The digital transformations can also be used in a diagnostic manner to help provide feedback on performance.

  • Publication number: 20220327251
    Abstract: Methods and systems for designing and manufacturing RF devices is provided. The disclosed methods allow for quick and efficient printing without having to generate a CAD file or the like to generate the build file. This can be achieved by receiving RF inputs, such as inputs generated from an RF simulation, and combining that with geometry design data, such as boundary geometry information that can include an outer geometry and size of the device to be printed. Further, the RF devices that are produced can use triply periodic minimal surface constructs as the base element of the device.
