  • Patent number: 12409601
    Abstract: A polymer three-dimensional (3D) printing methodology is disclosed for freeform fabrication of polymeric structures under ambient conditions without the use of printed support structures, without use of a support bath, and the like. The build material can be dissolved in a suitable solvent for 3D printing. The polymer solution can be printed (e.g., continuously printed using a moving dispensing nozzle) in air without the use of supports (e.g., without the use of a support bath, a concurrently printed support posts, or the like) while a nebulized coagulation agent is dispersed alongside the printed polymer solution to at least partially coagulate the polymer solution and form an intermediate article. The self-supporting intermediate article may then be immersed in a post-printing coagulation solution to remove some or all of the remaining solvent, causing the build material to fully solidify to form a finished article from the intermediate article.

  • Publication number: 20250269434
    Abstract: Described are systems. apparatuses. and methods for three-dimensional (3D) printing engineered parts having spatially tunable porosity. Printing ink can include metal/ceramic powders, binder(s), sinterable additive(s), polymer(s), porogen(s), and/or solvent(s). Vapor-based phase separation of the printing material causes at least partial solidification of ink to form a green part. A coagulation bath can be used to complete solidification of the green part and remove porogen material(s). Debinding the green part removes polymer(s) and/or porogen material(s) to form a porous, sinterable part. Sintering densifies the debinded part, controls grain growth/size, and improves mechanical properties of the part. Tuning concentration and particle size of porogen in the ink and/or the inter-filament spacing during printing achieves desired porosity and pore size in the finished part.

  • Publication number: 20250201335
    Abstract: This disclosure provides a novel method and system using a “spatial genome aligner” that parses true chromatin signals from noise by aligning signals to a DNA polymer model. This spatial genome aligner can efficiently reconstruct chromosome architectures from DNA-fluorescence in situ hybridization (DNA-FISH) data across multiple scales and determine chromosome ploidies de novo in interphase cells.

  • Patent number: 11833586
    Abstract: A three-dimensional (3D) printing method and apparatus are disclosed for freeform fabrication of metal articles. 3D printed articles are formed from a build material comprising metal powder(s), polymer(s), and solvent(s). A coagulation agent, such as a nebulized non-solvent, is disposed onto/about the build material during 3D printing to cause at least partial solidification of the build material to form a green body structure. Multiple build materials can be mixed at a variable ratio to achieve a composition gradient through the green body structure. The 3D printed green body structure can be heated to remove some or all of the polymer, solvent, and/or for debinding. The debinded green body structure can be sintered at a specific sintering temperature or over a temperature gradient, for a period of time, in accordance with the sintering properties of the particular metal powder in the debinded green body structure, to form a finished metal part.
