Abstract: Methods and systems for the additive manufacturing of metal parts. Some embodiments include a method that includes depositing a plurality of foil layers, the plurality of foil layers comprising at least one void space and forming a workpiece having an object region and a support region, the support region connected to the object region and the void space being fluidically isolated from the exterior of the workpiece; and applying pressure to the workpiece to collapse the at least one void space.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for the manufacture of laminated metal parts having external dimensions exceeding 0.5 m in length, 0.5 m in width, and 0.1 m in height. Some embodiments include methods to apply force evenly to a workpiece via multiple rams and feature stiffened platens comprised of multiple alloys. Some embodiments include modifications to the workpiece itself, including designs for a temporary vacuum or controlled gas chamber constructed around the workpiece. Some embodiments include modifications to the workpiece and the support structures surrounding the part which direct force during bonding to the part. Control systems may be employed to coordinate the operation of the cylinders with heating, cooling, and pumping operations. Finally, some embodiments include alternative heating systems such as induction or joule heating.

Abstract: A method for the manufacturing of an object. The method includes receiving a desired alloy composition for the object, depositing a plurality of foils in a stack to form the object, applying heat to the stack at a first temperature to bond the plurality of foils to each other, and applying heat to the stack at a second temperature to homogenize the composition of the stack. The homogenized stack has the desired alloy composition.

Abstract: Methods and systems for the manufacture of metal parts for the placement of blind fasteners. Embodiments include a metal part that comprises at least one of a receptacle or a fastener on at least one surface of the metal part. Some embodiments include forming the metal part via an additive manufacturing process. The metal part may be formed by stacking a plurality of patterned metal sheets and bonding the patterned metal sheets.
