Patent number: 11407216Abstract: The invention relates to a device for constructing a laminar body from a plurality of superimposed layers of free-flowing material, in particular particulate material, and a build platform within a working area. The layers are solidified in locally predetermined regions by the action of binders and are joined together so that at least one moulded body is formed by the solidified and joined regions of the layers. The device comprises a discharging device movable back and forth over the working area in at least one discharge direction and having at least one discharge opening from which the free-flowing material can be discharged in individual superimposed layers during the movement of the discharging device.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 2021Date of Patent: August 9, 2022Assignee: VOXELJET AGInventors: Andreas Dominik Hartmann, Dominik Schmid

Patent number: 10639715Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and a device for producing three-dimensional objects based on computer-provided data. Material is extruded on a surface of a workpiece (e.g., in two-dimensions). The workpiece is then moved incrementally so that additional material can be extruded on the new surface of the work piece. These steps are repeated until the 3-dimensional object is completed. The present invention also relates to a device including an extruder system for extruding a build material in multiple directions on a surface of a workpiece, and a conveying component for moving the workpiece incrementally for extruding additional material on the new surface. The method and device preferably allows for the continuous construction of three-dimensional objects.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 2018Date of Patent: May 5, 2020Assignee: VOXELJET AGInventors: Ingo Ederer, Daniel Günther, Andreas Dominik Hartmann
