  • Patent number: 11945155
    Abstract: In additive fabrication, less stiff layers generally require a comparatively higher peel force during separation, and that therefore geometric structures that include less stiff layers will also require a comparatively higher peel force during separation. Techniques to lower or otherwise mitigate undesirably large peel forces are described. These techniques include modification to how layers susceptible to a large peel force are formed, modification to a model of a part prior to generating instructions for an additive fabrication device to fabricate the part, and/or improvements to an additive fabrication device hardware.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 20, 2021
    Date of Patent: April 2, 2024
    Assignee: Formlabs, Inc.
    Inventors: Aruni Kacker, Andrew DeGonge, Garth Whelan
