  • Method of additive manufacturing an internal wave sparse structure with varying geometry for localized tunable structural properties throughout a part
    Patent number: 10926529
    Abstract: Disclosed are three-dimensional parts, such as orthotics and prosthetics, having sinusoidal wave pattern infill structures first and second boundary walls. Also disclosed are printers or systems configured to manufacture such parts, as well as methods of manufacturing such parts. The sinusoidal wave pattern infill structures are formed between, and normal to, the first and second boundary walls and are configured to provide locally tunable structural properties in different regions of the part.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 13, 2020
    Date of Patent: February 23, 2021
    Assignees: The Regents of the University of Michigan, Stratasys, Inc.
    Inventors: Robert Chisena, Miguel Angel Funes Lora, Albert Shih, Darren Bolger, Jeffrey Wensman, Andrew Hanson, Gary Larson, Chris Holshouser
