Publication number: 20240143852Abstract: The hardware and software properties of a three-dimensional printer can be queried and applied to select suitable directly printable models for the printer, or to identify situations where a new machine-ready model must be generated. The properties may be any properties relevant to fabrication including, e.g., physical properties of the printer, printer firmware, user settings, hardware configurations, and so forth. A printer may respond to configuration queries with a dictionary of capabilities or properties, and this dictionary may be used to select suitable models, or determine when a new model must be created. Similarly, when a printable model is sent to the printer, metadata for the printable model may be compared to printer properties in the dictionary to ensure that the model can be fabricated by the printer.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 14, 2023Publication date: May 2, 2024Inventors: Alison N. Leonard, Joseph Sadusk

Publication number: 20240043032Abstract: A method for providing a reference prior for a portion of a route to a planning stack of a vehicle. The method includes accessing manual driving data associated with the route portion, the manual driving data stored in a database; averaging the accessed manual driving data to determine a nominal path for the route portion; and providing the nominal path to the planning stack of the vehicle as the reference prior for the route portion, wherein the planning stack consumes the reference prior for planning maneuvers of the vehicle in traversing the route portion.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 2, 2022Publication date: February 8, 2024Applicant: GM Cruise Holdings LLCInventors: Jonathon Gillespie, Nishant Sharma, Joseph Sadusk, Bradley Perry

Publication number: 20230158749Abstract: The strength of a bond between two adjacent layers of a three-dimensional print is weakened by initiating fabrication of a top layer at a height greater than the processing height for the print. This technique may be used in particular at the interface between a raft or other support and an object being fabricated, after which the printing process may return to a regular process height for additional layers used to fabricate the remainder of the object.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 18, 2022Publication date: May 25, 2023Inventors: Joseph Sadusk, Filipp Gelman

Patent number: 9545756Abstract: Multi-material, three-dimensional fabrication is improved by the use of a purge wall adjacent to an object to absorb transitional artifacts of material changes. The structure of the purge wall may be selected to reduce build time, and to reduce certain printing artifacts such as warping and delaminating. For example, alternating layers of offset or mirrored zigzag patterns may be used to reduce and distribute the layer-to-layer adhesion surfaces throughout the purge wall while providing sufficient contact points to maintain the structural integrity of the purge wall.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2014Date of Patent: January 17, 2017Assignee: MakerBot Industries, LLCInventors: Joseph Sadusk, Filipp Gelman, Andrey V.
