Patents by Inventor Bishop Wright

Bishop Wright has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Publication number: 20240390986
    Abstract: Powder-based additive manufacturing processes for producing integral parts with multiple metallic materials are disclosed. The integral parts are printed as single pieces by joining different metallic materials together during printing. A combination of different powder-based additive manufacturing processes or the same process can be used to produce the integral part.
    Type: Application

  • Patent number: 12031199
    Abstract: Systems of weldable wires, powder, and materials comprising an aluminum-magnesium-scandium alloy, and methods for additive manufacturing the alloy are described. The alloy can be additive manufactured in industrial scale. With post treatment, the additive manufactured alloys can have desired properties for aerospace applications.

  • Publication number: 20240219027
    Abstract: Additively manufactured thrust chambers and thrust chambers with integral fluid manifolds, and hybrid additive manufacturing methods for their production, are provided. Hybrid additive manufacturing techniques may combine a variety of processes including, WAAM, PBF, cold spray and DED, for example, to produce objects with variant dimensional requirements, i.e., large overall size and small features. Hybrid additive manufacturing may be defined as provide various process layers within any manufactured object. These process layers in turn allow for the introduction of variable feature and size distribution throughout the manufactured object. Hybrid process layers according to aspects may also allow the use of a variety of materials or may use a single material across the various process layers.

  • Publication number: 20240026497
    Abstract: Systems of weldable wires, powder, and materials comprising an aluminum-magnesium-scandium alloy, and methods for additive manufacturing the alloy are described. The alloy can be utilized in additive manufacturing to additively manufacture at industrial scales. With post treatment, the additive manufactured alloys can have advantageous properties for aerospace applications.

  • Publication number: 20230356315
    Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for cold working an additively manufactured component including a platform, a deposition robot, and a roller assembly. The platform is configured to support a three-dimensional object. The deposition robot is configured to deposit successive material layers that, after deposition, form the three-dimensional object. The deposition robot includes an arm having a deposition end and a deposition head coupled to the deposition end of the arm. The deposition head is configured to deposit a new material later of the successive material layers. The roller assembly is disposed around the new material layer and configured to compress a lateral thickness of the new material layer after the new material layer has been deposited by the deposition robot.
