  • Publication number: 20250144926
    Abstract: Methods of making multilayer systems comprising a sealant layer by extruding a coreactive sealant composition are disclosed. The methods can be used to fabricate multilayer systems in which individual layers have different cured properties. Individual layers can also have an inhomogeneous concentration of one or more constituents within a layer. The multilayer systems can be made using three-dimensional printing that facilitate the use of a wide range of coreactive compositions.

  • Publication number: 20230202103
    Abstract: Additive manufacturing compositions and methods may include a resin stabilized pigment. The pigment may be easily combined with at least one component of a co-reactive system, such as a co-reactive prepolymer formulation, via solid mixing without the need for grinding or additional solvents. The prepolymer formulation may be pigmented, printed, and cured under ambient conditions, and one or more pigments may be incorporated into the composition to change the color of the composition during printing and/or to selectively change the color of the printed article among several colors.

  • Publication number: 20220250308
    Abstract: Methods of fabricating wind turbine blades, leading edge protection surfaces of wind turbine blades and wind turbine protection shields using coreactive additive manufacturing. The blades, surfaces (605), and protection shields can include a single layer or multiple layers of a cured composition applied using coreactive manufacturing such as three-dimensional printing. Methods of repairing leading edge (601) surfaces of wind turbine blades include applying one or more layers of a coreactive composition onto the damaged leading edge surfaces using coreactive additive manufacturing or applying a leading edge protection shield onto a damaged leading edge (601) of a wind turbine blade.
