Publication number: 20210331237Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods are directed at spreading sequential layers of powder across a powder bed and applying energy to each layer to form a three-dimensional object. The powder can include granules including agglomerations of metallic particles to facilitate spreading the metallic particles in each layer. The energy can be directed to the powder to reflow the granules in each layer to bind the metallic particles in the layer to one another and to one or more adjacent layers to form the three-dimensional object. Thus, in general, the agglomeration of the metallic particles in the granules can overcome constraints associated with metallic particles that are of a size ordinarily unsuitable for flowing and/or a size that presents safety risks. By overcoming these constraints, the granules can improve formation of dense finished parts from a powder and can result in formation of unique microstructures in finished parts.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 31, 2017Publication date: October 28, 2021Applicant: Desktop Metal, Inc.Inventors: Animesh Bose, Jonah Samuel Myerberg

Publication number: 20210283688Abstract: Techniques and compositions are disclosed for three-dimensional printing with powder/binder systems including, but not limited to, metal injection molding powder materials, highly-filled polymer composites, and any other materials suitable for handling with various additive manufacturing techniques, and further suitable for subsequent debinding and thermal processing into a final object.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 14, 2017Publication date: September 16, 2021Applicant: Desktop Metal, Inc.Inventors: Ricardo Fulop, Animesh Bose, Michael Andrew Gibson, Richard Remo Fontana, Jonah Samuel Myerberg

Publication number: 20210260652Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods are directed to coated powder for three dimensional additive manufacturing. The powder may include a first material coated with a second material, with the coating advantageously resisting segregation of the first material and the second material during handling processes associated with fabrication. The reduced segregation of the first material and the second material may facilitate forming finished three-dimensional parts with improved homogeneity of microstructures and, thus, improved physicochemical properties. More generally, the reduced segregation of the first material and the second material achievable through coating the first material with the second material may facilitate binder jet fabrication using a wider array of combinations of first material and second material as compared to binder jet fabrication using mixtures of constituent powders of the first material and the second material.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 20, 2019Publication date: August 26, 2021Applicant: DESKTOP METAL, INC.Inventor: Animesh Bose

Publication number: 20210260654Abstract: Techniques for debinding additively fabricated parts are described that do not require solvent debinding or catalytic debinding, and that may be performed using only thermal debinding in a furnace. As a result, in at least some cases debinding and sintering may take place sequentially within a single furnace. In some embodiments, the techniques may utilize particular materials as binders that allow for a thermal debinding process that does not negatively affect the parts.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 26, 2021Publication date: August 26, 2021Applicant: Desktop Metal, Inc.Inventors: John Reidy, Nihan Tuncer, Animesh Bose, Christopher Craven, Alexander C.

Publication number: 20200009795Abstract: Materials and methods are disclosed for forming interface layers between objects being 3D printed and their underlying support structures, as well as dissolvable supports. The materials and methods facilitate separation of the objects from the supports after all processing is completed and are particularly useful when 3D printing metal objects that have to be sintered subsequent to 3D printing.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 11, 2019Publication date: January 9, 2020Applicant: DESKTOP METAL INC.Inventors: Michael Andrew GIBSON, Animesh Bose, Brian Keman, Jonah Myerberg, Alexander Barbati

Publication number: 20190193159Abstract: In an aspect, multiple metallic base materials are mixed into a user-controlled multimetallic mixture and extruded into a net shape, which is thermally processed into a multimetallic and/or alloyed object. In another aspect, a superstructure is fabricated around an object, but physically isolated from the object, with a shape facilitating robotic handling of the superstructure, along with removal of powder from the object, after a three-dimensional printing process. In another aspect, a ceramic precursor is used to create a separable interface between a support structure and a sinterable object. More specifically, a sinterable structure is fabricated from a sinterable powder in an aqueous binder, and an interface layer is formed by depositing a ceramic precursor in a nonaqueous solution onto the sinterable structure. When the ceramic precursor is exposed to water in the aqueous binder, the ceramic can precipitate to form an unsinterable, ceramic interface layer between sinterable structures.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 24, 2018Publication date: June 27, 2019Applicant: Desktop Metal, Inc.Inventors: Michael Andrew Gibson, Jay Collin Tobia, Animesh Bose

Patent number: 10189204Abstract: Techniques and compositions are disclosed for composite feedstocks with powder/binder systems suitable for three-dimensional printing, such as fused filament fabrication. The composite feedstocks may include a jacket about a core, with at least the core including a powder material suspended in a binder system and the jacket having a hardness or toughness greater than a hardness or toughness of the core for the feedstock. In general, the harder jacket may protect the core from unintended deformation or damage during transportation, storage, or use. For example, the difference in hardness or toughness between the jacket and the core may facilitate gripping the feedstock (e.g., by gear drives or the like) with a higher amount of force than is otherwise applicable if the feedstock were composed of the core alone, without damaging the core, during a fused filament fabrication process or another additive manufacturing process.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2017Date of Patent: January 29, 2019Assignee: Desktop Metal, Inc.Inventors: Ricardo Fulop, Michael Andrew Gibson, Richard Remo Fontana, Animesh Bose, Jonah Samuel Myerberg
