Patent number: 11926092Abstract: An additive manufacturing device for manufacturing a solid article comprises a laser generation unit, a raw material supply unit, a raw material container containing a raw material and having a raw material surface exposed to a laser beam to be emitted by the laser generation unit in operation and a control unit. The heating device includes a heating surface for heating the raw material surface to form a pre-heated raw material surface. The laser generation unit is disposed with a directing unit to direct the laser beam onto the pre-heated raw material surface according to a computer generated model of the solid article stored in a storage unit associated with the control unit. The laser beam generated by the laser generation unit passes through the heating surface onto the pre-heated raw material surface.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 2020Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: SINTRATEC AGInventor: Christian von Burg

Patent number: 11331852Abstract: An additive manufacturing device includes a beam generation unit, a raw material container and a raw material supply unit. A window element can transmit an energy beam emittable by the beam generation unit to the raw material container for manufacturing a solid article from multiple raw material layers. The raw material includes a powder. The raw material container contains a raw material arranged in multiple raw material layers arranged upon each other, where an uppermost raw material layer including a raw material surface is exposed to the energy beam. The window element includes a first surface and a second surface. The first surface faces the beam generation unit and the second surface faces the raw material surface. The second surface is at least partially covered by a protection element. The protection element is transparent for the energy beam such that in operation, the energy beam passes through the protection element.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 2017Date of Patent: May 17, 2022Assignee: SINTRATEC AGInventors: Christian Von Burg, Dominik Solenicki, Joscha Zeltner

Patent number: 10994485Abstract: A device for manufacturing a solid article includes a beam generation unit, a control unit, a supply unit, a container containing a raw material arranged in multiple raw material layers arranged upon each other, such that a raw material surface is exposed to a beam. The beam is emittable by the beam generation unit according to instructions of the control unit. A heating surface heats the raw material surface to form a pre-heated raw material surface. The beam generation unit is disposed with a directing unit to direct the beam onto the pre-heated raw material surface. The beam generated by the beam generation unit passes through the heating surface onto the pre-heated raw material surface. The beam generation unit and/or the directing unit is movable relative to the raw material surface, such that the angle of the beam relative to the raw material surface substantially remains constant.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2017Date of Patent: May 4, 2021Assignee: Sintratec AGInventors: Christian Von Burg, Joscha Zeltner, Dominik Solenicki
