Patent number: 11565471Abstract: A three-dimensional printing system may include a build platform, the build platform including at least one hole defined through the build platform, a diffuser plate placed below the at least one hole to maintain an amount of build material between a lower surface of the build platform and an upper surface of the diffuser plate, and a flow channel defined around the diffuser plate and sealing the diffuser plate from atmosphere.Type: GrantFiled: July 6, 2017Date of Patent: January 31, 2023Assignee: HEWLETT-PACKARD DEVELOPMENT COMPANY, L.P.Inventors: Joshua Schmale, Robert Lawrence Winburne, Randall West, Tait A. Regnier

Patent number: 11518102Abstract: In one example in accordance with the present disclosure, an additive manufacturing platform is described. The additive manufacturing platform includes a vibrating bed on which a volume of build material is to be disposed. The bed is to vibrate to remove excess build material and operates in at least two extraction modes during a build material extraction period. The additive manufacturing platform also includes a non-vibrating frame to support the vibrating bed.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 2017Date of Patent: December 6, 2022Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Joshua Schmale, Robert Lawrence Winburne, Tait A. Regnier, Michael Duda, Justin M. Roman

Patent number: 11498278Abstract: A three dimensional printing system, the system including: a printhead; and a removable tray comprising a reservoir, the tray located in a print bed of the three dimensional printing system such that liquid purged from the printhead is deposited in the reservoir, wherein prior to the system purging liquid from the printhead, the system confirms that the tray is in place using a sensor.Type: GrantFiled: April 17, 2017Date of Patent: November 15, 2022Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Miguel Alvarez, Warren Scott Martin, Joshua Schmale

Patent number: 11230060Abstract: In one example in accordance with the present disclosure, an additive manufacturing build unit is described. The additive manufacturing build unit includes a vibrating bed on which a volume of build material is to be disposed. The bed is to vibrate to remove excess build material. A non-vibrating frame of the build unit supports the vibrating bed. The build unit also includes a bed-frame interface to: couple the vibrating bed to the non-vibrating bed frame, and isolate vibrations to the vibrating bed. A flexible seal of the build unit is disposed between the vibrating bed and non-vibrating frame. The flexible seal prevents build material from contaminating an additive manufacturing system in which the additive manufacturing build unit is disposed and allows relative motion between the vibrating bed and the non-vibrating frame.Type: GrantFiled: July 6, 2017Date of Patent: January 25, 2022Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Robert Lawrence Winburne, Joshua Schmale, Tait A.

Publication number: 20210206070Abstract: An example two-part seal for a powder-based 3-D printer includes a flexible film wiper attached to a rectangular platform and disposed on linear segments of a perimeter of the platform. The flexible film wiper extends beyond the perimeter of the platform to provide a sliding seal against corresponding walls of a rectangular enclosure of the platform. The two-part seal also includes a deformable member disposed upon the flexible film wiper that extends beyond the perimeter of the platform to apply sealing pressure to the flexible film wiper.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 27, 2017Publication date: July 8, 2021Applicant: HEWLETT-PACKARD DEVELOPMENT COMPANY, L.P.Inventors: Joshua SCHMALE, Matt G.
