  • Laser system enabled by additive manufacturing
    Patent number: 10811835
    Abstract: A laser frame for holding a plurality of optical components includes a first flexure structure for adjustably holding a first one of the optical components, and a first cellular structure for supporting and cooling a second one of the optical components. The first flexure structure and the first cellular structure are each a unitary structure formed by additive manufacturing. Also, a laser frame for holding an optical component includes a passive cooling cellular structure for supporting and cooling the optical component. The passive cooling cellular structure has a non-uniform density, and the laser frame is a unitary structure formed by additive manufacturing.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 15, 2018
    Date of Patent: October 20, 2020
    Assignee: University of Pittsburgh-Of the Commonwealth System of Higher Education
    Inventors: Peng Kevin Chen, Shuo Li, Albert Chi Fu To
