  • System and method for resource estimation of additive manufacturing
    Patent number: 11097485
    Abstract: A system and method for resource estimation of an additive manufacturing device is disclosed herein. The system includes at least one processor and one or more software modules. The processor executes the one or more software modules to determine a number of parts that can be manufactured per manufacturing run, estimate manufacturing time to manufacture a specified number of parts, and determine a total cost to manufacture the number of parts with the additive manufacturing device. The one or more software modules can compare the total cost to the cost of a current manufacturing method.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 7, 2019
    Date of Patent: August 24, 2021
    Assignee: Solar Turbines Incorporated
    Inventors: Tyler Boveington, Branden Elam, Timothy Evans, Greg Balow, Drew Dominique
