Dirk Poppe has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Publication number: 20140134334
    Abstract: A 3D extrusion print process for producing multicolored three-dimensional objects is provided. The process produces mechanically stable, multicolored 3D objects with good color definition. The process according to the invention is based on coating, upstream of the printing head, of the polymer strand used for producing the actual object, and on fixing of the coating upstream of entry of the polymer strand into the printing head. Downstream of the extrusion process in the printing head, the coating remains predominantly at the surface of the extruded strand.

  • Publication number: 20140088751
    Abstract: The invention relates to a modified fused deposition modeling process for production of multicolored three-dimensional objects. More particularly, the invention relates to a 3D printing process with which 3D objects with particularly good color appearance compared to the prior art can be produced. The process according to the invention is based on surface coloring or additive coating of the polymer strand used for production of the actual object or of the melt which results therefrom in the nozzle.

  • Publication number: 20140079841
    Abstract: The invention relates to a modified fused deposition modeling process for production of multicolored three-dimensional objects. More particularly, the invention relates to a 3D printing process with which 3D objects with particularly good color appearance compared to the prior art can be produced. The process according to the invention is based on coloring of the polymer strand used for production of the actual object in the nozzle, and on using a mixing apparatus which comprises a plurality of injection needles, a static mixer or a dynamic mixer.

  • Publication number: 20130317164
    Abstract: The invention relates to a novel support material for the fused deposition modelling process for producing three-dimensional objects. The invention relates more particularly to a 3D printing process involving support materials which are easier to remove than in the prior art. The support materials according to the invention are styrene-maleic anhydride copolymers for example.

  • Publication number: 20130289164
    Abstract: The present invention comprises a novel formulation for marking trafficways, for example roads, which when compared with the prior art have improved mechanical properties and improved heat resistance during curing. The invention also relates to improved reactive resins for other applications than roadmarkings. The present invention in particular relates to reactive resins which comprise core-shell particles.

  • Publication number: 20120157613
    Abstract: The invention relates to the synthesis of (meth)acrylate-based mass polymers which are soluble in aqueous alkaline. The invention in particular relates to the synthesis of polymers by means of a mass polymerization. Said mass polymers have a significantly improved solubility in aqueous alkaline media over corresponding polymers produced by means of a heterogeneous aqueous polymerization method, such as emulsion or suspension polymerization. Improved solubility in said context refers to the dissolution rate being faster among particles of equal size, to no significant turbidity remaining after dissolution and to the viscosity of the obtained solutions being lower at the identical ratio of solids content. Furthermore, the compatibility of the compounds according to the invention with water-based varnishes is at least comparable or even improved.
