  • Component with mechanical locking features incorporating adaptive cooling and method of making
    Patent number: 11634990
    Abstract: A hot gas path component assembly includes a first component portion that includes a first set of interlocking features and a second component portion that includes a second set of interlocking features mechanically coupled to the first set of interlocking features. A fill material is disposed at an interface between at least one surface of the first set of interlocking features and at least one surface of the second set of interlocking features. The fill material is disposed during a joining process. The second component portion is joined to the first component portion via both the fill material and the first and second sets of interlocking features.
    Type: Grant

  • Hybrid support structures for additively printed parts
    Patent number: 11308249
    Abstract: A method, medium, and system to receive a specification defining a model of a part to be produced by an additive manufacturing (AM) process; execute an AM simulation on the model of the part to determine a prediction of thermal distortions to the part; execute a topology optimization (TO) to create TO supports that counteract the predicted thermal distortions; generate at least one rule-based support based on a geometry of the part to interface with the part at one or more regions other than the TO supports; combining the TO supports and the at least one rule-based support to generate a set of hybrid supports; save a record of the set of hybrid supports; and transmit the record of the set of hybrid supports to an AM controller to control an AM system to generate a support structure for an AM production of the part.
