Publication number: 20240319708Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods and systems for three-dimensional (3D) printing. In an example, a system and method for maintaining a command history in 3D printing software is disclosed. In an example, a method for updating a plurality of printing instructions comprises maintaining a plurality of printing states corresponding to the plurality of printing instructions, wherein a first state corresponds to a first set of printing instructions for printing a first portion of a 3D object. The plurality of printing states may comprise a final state comprising final printing instructions. User instructions may be received to select a second state that is not the final state. A new state may be generated comprising a second set of printing instructions for printing second portion of the 3D object. The plurality of printing instructions may be updated with the second set of printing instructions to yield an updated plurality of printing instructions.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 30, 2024Publication date: September 26, 2024Applicant: Relativity Space, Inc.Inventors: Forrest Pieper, Mario Barrenechea, William Gorman

Publication number: 20240077849Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for using printing process data to predict quality measures for three-dimensional (3D) printed objects and properties of the materials comprising the 3D objects. Printing may be performed using resistive or Joule printing. The system may include a computer communicatively coupled to a 3D printing apparatus, which may store printing parameters. The 3D printing apparatus may be able to take measurements during a print job, and record those measurements in memory. The 3D printing apparatus may also be able to record printing states before, during, and/or after printing. A combination of printing states, printing parameters, and measurements may be analyzed, for example, by a machine learning algorithm, in order to predict material properties and quality measures.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 13, 2023Publication date: March 7, 2024Applicant: Relativity Space, Inc.Inventors: Duncan McCallum, Salvador Barriga, Forrest Pieper, Elad Taig, Paul Burke, Kevin Cedrone
