Publication number: 20240116123Abstract: The present disclosure provides a system for printing at least a portion of a three-dimensional (3D) object. The system may comprise a source of at least one feedstock, a support for supporting at least a portion of the 3D object, a feeder for directing at least one feedstock from the source towards the support, and a power supply for supplying electrical current. The system may comprise a controller operatively coupled to the power supply. The controller may receive a computational representation of the 3D object. The controller may direct the at least one feedstock through a feeder towards the support and may direct electrical current through the at least one feedstock and into the support. The controller may subject such feedstock to Joule heating such that at least a portion of such feedstock may deposit adjacent to the support, thereby printing the 3D object in accordance with the computational representation.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 11, 2023Publication date: April 11, 2024Applicant: Relativity Space, Inc.Inventors: Paul Burke, Mateo Pena Doll

Publication number: 20210138538Abstract: The present disclosure provides a system for printing a three-dimensional object. The system may comprise a support for holding a portion of the object and a wire(s) source configured to hold a wire(s) of substantially the same or different diameters. The system may also comprise a print head. The print head may comprise a guide for directing the wire to the support. The system may also comprise a driver roller comprising a groove configured to contact a portion of the wire and direct the wire to the guide, and a power source in electrical communication with the wire and the support. The system may also comprise a controller configured to direct the power source to supply electrical current to the wire and the support. The electrical current may be sufficient to melt the wire when the wire is in contact with the support or the portion of the object.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 16, 2020Publication date: May 13, 2021Inventors: Scott KILCOYNE, Mateo Pena DOLL, Salvador BARRIGA

Publication number: 20210053275Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for printing a three-dimensional object, comprising calculating at least one deposition parameter based on a computational representation of the 3D object, and using a print head to initiate printing in accordance with the deposition parameter. The printing comprises subjecting at least one feedstock to heating upon flow of electrical current through the feedstock and into the base, or vice versa. Next, (i) one or more properties of the 3D object or feedstock may be measured and (ii) whether the one or more properties of the 3D object measured in (i) meet one or more predetermined properties of the 3D object or the feedstock may be determined. The deposition parameter may be adjusted upon determining that the properties measured do not meet the predetermined properties. The print head and the adjusted deposition parameter may be used to continue to print the 3D object.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 21, 2020Publication date: February 25, 2021Inventors: Paul Burke, Elad Taig, Mateo Pena Doll, Duncan McCallum

Patent number: 10505213Abstract: Extruder feed system. The system includes a pair of spaced-apart, internally and oppositely threaded rotatable elements for receiving and engaging a plastic filament material. An electric motor rotates the rotatable elements in opposite directions thereby to drive the filament into a liquefier chamber for subsequent discharge through a nozzle. The system provides very accurate layer-by-layer build up.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2018Date of Patent: December 10, 2019Assignee: Massachusetts Institute of TechnologyInventors: Alfonso Alexander Perez, Christopher Michael Haid, Mateo Pena Doll, Forrest W.
