  • Multi-material separation layers for additive fabrication
    Patent number: 11167490
    Abstract: According to some aspects, a container is provided for use in an additive fabrication device configured to fabricate parts by curing a liquid photopolymer to form layers of cured photopolymer. The container may comprise a laminated multi-material layer having an elastic first layer that aids in separation of cured photopolymer from the container in addition to a barrier layer on an upper surface that protects the first layer from exposure to substances in the liquid photopolymer that may not be compatible with the material of the first layer.
    Type: Grant

  • Techniques for metallic material deposition in additive fabrication and related systems and methods
    Patent number: 11059223
    Abstract: According to some aspects, a method is provided of forming a metallic object via additive fabrication, the method comprising obtaining a geometric description of a first object with an exterior surface, generating a geometric description of a second object, the second object bounded by the exterior surface of the first object and having one or more voids, fabricating said second object via additive fabrication based on said geometric description of the second object, and depositing a metallic material onto said second object, wherein the metallic material is deposited into said voids of second object.

  • MULTI-MATERIAL SEPARATION LAYERS FOR ADDITIVE FABRICATION
    Publication number: 20190358902
    Abstract: According to some aspects, a laminated multi-material separation layer is provided for use in an additive fabrication device wherein layers of solid material are formed in contact with the separation layer by curing a liquid photopolymer. In some embodiments, the laminated multi-material layer may include an elastic first layer that aids in separation of cured photopolymer from the container in addition to a barrier layer on an upper surface that protects the first layer from exposure to substances in the liquid photopolymer that may not be compatible with the material of the first layer.
