  • Publication number: 20240342996
    Abstract: A computer system (110) for controlling a thermoset printer (100) to create desired material attributes comprises one or more processors (210) and one or more computer-readable media (220) having stored thereon executable instructions that when executed by the one or more processors configure the computer system to perform various acts. The computer system may receive an indication of one or more thermoset materials that are to be used by the thermoset printer (100) to print a target object (120). The computer system (110) may also access a material attribute dataset that describes different material properties of the one or more thermoset materials during printing. Based upon the material attribute dataset, the computer system determines a particular extrusion configuration for the one or more thermoset materials and generates a command to cause the thermoset printer to implement the particular extrusion configuration while printing the target object (120).

  • Publication number: 20240336011
    Abstract: A computer system for dynamically controlling a three-dimensional printer may comprise one or more processors and one or more computer-readable media having stored thereon executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, configure the computer system to perform various acts. The computer system may receive an indication to cause a three-dimensional printer to print a non-planar surface. Additionally, the computer system may calculate multiple different bead sizes for creating the non-planar surface using components of the three-dimensional printer. The computer system may also create a command to generate the multiple different bead sizes at locations within a printing area.

  • Publication number: 20230256678
    Abstract: A computer system for part production using flow infill design receives a computer-aided design file that describes physical dimensions of a target object (120). The computer system identifies a physical boundary portion (300) of the target object within the CAD file. The computer system generates a first tool path to additively manufacture the physical boundary portion (300). Additionally, the computer system sends instructions to a computer system in communication with a dispenser (130) that cause the dispenser to implement the first tool path while dispensing a boundary material. Further, the computer system generates a command to dispense the coreactive infill material (310) within the physical boundary portion.

  • Publication number: 20230234279
    Abstract: A computer system (110) for part production using additive design receives a computer-aided design (CAD) file that describes physical dimensions of a target object (120). The computer system (110) identifies a physical boundary portion (300) of the target object within the CAD file. The computer system determines a target flow rate to infill the physical boundary portion (300) with the infill material. Additionally, the computer system (110) generates a first tool path to flow infill material into the physical boundary portion (300). Further, the computer system (110) sends instructions to a computer system in communication with a dispenser (100) that cause the dispenser to implement the first tool path while flowing the infill material into the physical boundary portion (300).
