  • Patent number: 12594603
    Abstract: The invention relates to a production device for additively manufacturing three-dimensional components by the layer-by-layer application of a construction material by means of at least one coating unit and spatially selective solidification of a construction material by means of at least one irradiation unit, comprising a process chamber having at least one heat-reflecting apparatus, in particular heat-reflecting layer, which shields at least one portion of a surface within the process chamber.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20250219514
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a base winding assembly of a stator. The base winding assembly includes a plurality of conductor loop groups each formed of a plurality of conductor loops that are open on one side, wherein the closed ends of the conductor loops that are open on one side can be arranged at one face of the base assembly and the open ends can be arranged at the opposite face side of the base assembly, wherein the manufacturing of the base winding assembly is done by an additive manufacturing process in which a layer-by-layer application and local solidification of build-up material takes place. Furthermore, a method for manufacturing a stator for an electric machine, as well as a base winding group of a stator and a stator are proposed.

  • Patent number: 12290856
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for additively manufacturing, wherein an irradiation path of the impinging beam deviates during the feed from a, in particular straight, feed centre line M, wherein at least one line P parallel to M or corresponding to M is successively crossed by the irradiation path at three points P1, P2 and P3, so that applies: P2 lies further forward in the feed direction than P1 and P3 lies between P1 and P2, at a distance p1 from P1 and a distance p2 from P2, where: p2/p1?2.0, preferably p2/p1?3.5.

  • Publication number: 20220305561
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for additively manufacturing three-dimensional components by layer-by-layer application of a build-up material and locally selective solidification of the build-up material by at least one beam (15) impinging on the build-up material and following a feed direction (12), wherein an irradiation path (10) of the impinging beam deviates during the feed from a, in particular straight, feed centre line M, wherein at least one line P parallel to M or corresponding to M is successively crossed by the irradiation path (10) at three points P1, P2 and P3, so that applies: P2 lies further forward in the feed direction than P1 and P3 lies between P1 and P2, at a distance p1 from P1 and a distance p2 from P2, where: p2/p1?2.0, preferably p2/p1?3.5.
