  • ELECTROMAGNETIC BLUNTING OF DEFECTS WITHIN FUSED DEPOSITION MODELING (FDM)COMPONENTS
    Publication number: 20160318246
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for additive manufacturing that applies a magnetic field to reduce undesirable imperfections, such as voids or air pockets, in a deposited working material. The apparatus includes a nozzle for extruding a plastic material and a supply of polymeric working material provided to the nozzle, wherein the polymeric working material is magnetically susceptible and/or electrically conductive, and a magneto-dynamic heater for producing a time varying, high flux, frequency sweeping, alternating magnetic field in the vicinity of the nozzle and/or the deposited working material to penetrate into working material to reflow or constrict at least portions of the material through at least one of an induced transient magnetic domain and an induced, annular current.
