  • Heated air system for 3D printer
    Patent number: 11161336
    Abstract: An apparatus and a method using the apparatus provides heated air in an additive manufacturing process for building a three-dimensional part. The method comprises providing a stream of flowable part material at an initial build level, the initial build level being positioned in and defining a horizontal plane wherein the stream of flowable material is being initially disposed on previously deposited part material. Heated air is provided at a selected temperature corresponding to the temperature of the stream of flowable part material such that the stream of flowable part material deposits on previously deposited part material in an adhering fashion thereby forming the three-dimensional part wherein the heated air is provided in the horizontal plane of the initial build level.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 17, 2019
    Date of Patent: November 2, 2021
    Assignee: Stratasys, Inc.
    Inventors: Peter D. Schuller, Jordan Paul Nadeau, Joel Ordell Ostby, Shawn Michael Koop
