  • Method and apparatus for selective deposition modeling
    Patent number: 6352668
    Abstract: Rapid prototyping modeling typically operates by utilizing an ink jet to lay down a thin surface of material as a liquid on a part platform. The material solidifies into a three dimensional object. Computer programs determine the shape of the object, the arrangement of objects and the sequence of objects being built to protect parts of the planarizer roller and planarizer blade of a rapid prototyping machine from erosion.

  • Method and apparatus for variably controlling the temperature in a selective deposition modeling environment
    Patent number: 6162378
    Abstract: A method, system and apparatus for variably controlling the temperature in a selective deposition modeling environment. The temperature of the formed portion of the three-dimensional object is detected. A gas is forced onto a surface of the formed portion of the three-dimensional object. The forced gas has a characteristic, such as temperature and quantity, that is variably controlled based on the detected temperature of the formed portion of the three-dimensional object.
