  • Method for preparing a surface for extrusion deposition modeling
    Patent number: 11524449
    Abstract: In the context of an extrusion deposition modeling to form three-dimensional objects, adhesion of extruded materials to a build surface is achieved by preparing the build surface using an intermediary coating that substantially adheres to the build surface, and a bondable particulate material, applied to the intermediary coating, that becomes affixed to the intermediary coating and provides a surface to which the extruded materials may attach.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 26, 2019
    Date of Patent: December 13, 2022
    Assignee: 3D SYSTEMS, INC.
    Inventors: Christopher Normile, Daniel Inman, Clay Guillory
  • Active aero device to attenuate wind throb
    Patent number: 11084543
    Abstract: An apparatus and method, according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure includes, among other things, a composite material selectively movable between an inactive position and an active position, and a control to apply a voltage to the composite material in response to a vehicle panel moving from a closed position to an open position to move the composite material to the active position to mitigate wind throb.
