  • Multi-beam resin curing system and method for whole-volume additive manufacturing
    Patent number: 11701827
    Abstract: A multi-beam volumetric resin curing system and method for whole-volume additive manufacturing of an object includes a bath containing a photosensitive resin, a light source for producing a light beam, and a spatial light modulator which produces a phase- or intensity-modulated light beam by impressing a phase profile or intensity profile of an image onto a light beam received from the light source. The system and method also include projection optics which then produces multiple sub-image beams from the modulated light beam which are projected to intersect each other in the photosensitive resin to cure select volumetric regions of the resin in a whole-volume three-dimensional pattern representing the object.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 23, 2020
    Date of Patent: July 18, 2023
    Assignee: Lawrence Livermore National Security, LLC
    Inventors: Maxim Shusteff, Christopher M. Spadaccini, Nicholas Fang, Robert Matthew Panas, Johannes Henriksson, Brett Kelly, Allison E. Browar
