  • Extruder feed system
    Patent number: 10505213
    Abstract: Extruder feed system. The system includes a pair of spaced-apart, internally and oppositely threaded rotatable elements for receiving and engaging a plastic filament material. An electric motor rotates the rotatable elements in opposite directions thereby to drive the filament into a liquefier chamber for subsequent discharge through a nozzle. The system provides very accurate layer-by-layer build up.
    Type: Grant

  • Automatic process control of additive manufacturing device
    Patent number: 10427348
    Abstract: Automatic process control of additive manufacturing. The system includes an additive manufacturing device for making an object and a local network computer controlling the device. At least one camera is provided with a view of a manufacturing volume of the device to generate network accessible images of the object. The computer is programmed to stop the manufacturing process when the object is defective based on the images of the object.

  • AUTOMATED THREE-DIMENSIONAL PRINTER PART REMOVAL
    Publication number: 20160159010
    Abstract: Three-dimensional printing system with automated part removal. In one embodiment, the system includes a printing surface on which a part is made and a printing device supported for controlled movement with respect to the printing surface to print the part on the printing surface. A blade is supported for motion across the printing surface to release the part from the printing surface. The present printing system according to the invention requires fewer user steps than known in the prior art.
