  • Patent number: 12070909
    Abstract: A three-dimensional product is produced by providing a support medium in a container, introducing a production material into the support medium by means of the at least one insertion nozzle, and curing the production material. In the process, the support medium contains particles made of solid matter.

  • Publication number: 20240262034
    Abstract: A method for producing a 3-dimensional object having a base body which is produced in an additive manufacturing process, in which a base body material in a flowable state is introduced into a support material by at least one insertion needle (10) and cures therein at least partially, wherein the method has the following steps: Providing data of the object to be produced, which contain information about its 3-dimensional shape, determining printing parameters from the data provided, wherein a printing path is determined along which the insertion needle is moved through the support material, and a volumetric flow rate of the base body material inserted into the support material and/or the velocity of the insertion needle at each point along the printing path are determined, producing the base body by means of the additive manufacturing process using the determined printing parameters.

  • Publication number: 20240208150
    Abstract: A method for producing at least one wall of a three-dimensional object includes an additive manufacturing process in which at least one manufacturing material is fed in a free-flowing state from at least one feed-in opening of at least one feed-in needle into a supporting material and then cures. The wall extends along a course which comprises a first lateral surface and a second lateral surface opposite the first. The feed-in needle is moved through the supporting material along a printing path, and the printing path corresponds to a path of progression along the course of the wall on which a texturing path is superimposed.

  • Publication number: 20240148525
    Abstract: The invention relates to an orthopaedic socket for bearing on and for receiving a limb stump or a limb, having at least one socket wall (2), a proximal access opening (3), a distal end (4) and at least one fastening device (5) which is arranged for fastening at least one distal orthopaedic component (6) to the socket (1), wherein at least one stiffening element (40) is arranged or formed on or in the socket wall (2), said stiffening element being assigned an adjustment device (30) and by means of which a stiffness of the socket wall (2) is reversibly variable at least in certain regions.

  • Publication number: 20230226750
    Abstract: A method for producing a three-dimensional object by an additive manufacturing process includes introducing at least one manufacturing material fed in a flowable state from at least one feed-in opening of at least one feed-in needle into a supporting material. After being fed in, the at least one manufacturing material is cured, but it remains flexible or elastic after curing. The contour and/or position of at least one part of the three-dimensional object within the support material is detected by at least one sensor.

  • Publication number: 20220304832
    Abstract: The invention relates to an orthopedic device with an energy storage device 2 that comprises at least one cylinder 4, in which a first cylinder chamber 6, a second cylinder chamber 8, which is fluidically connected to the first cylinder chamber 6 by at least one fluid line 14, and a piston 10 are located, wherein the piston 10 is arranged relative to the cylinder 4 such that it can be displaced in such a way that by displacing the piston 4, an operating medium, which is a fluid, is conveyed through the at least one fluid line 14 from one cylinder chamber 6, 8 into the other cylinder chamber 8, 6, wherein the energy storage device 2 has at least one compensation volume 24, which is fluidically connected to the fluid line 14 via a fluid connection 22, and a first controllable valve 26, by means of which the fluid connection 22 can be opened and closed.
