  • Patent number: 11693391
    Abstract: A method of generating fabrication parameters for fabrication of a part is disclosed. The method comprises receiving from a computer device a 3D file representing the part to be fabricated. A three-dimensional model stored in the three-dimensional model file is converted to manufacturing instructions. The three-dimensional model includes the geometrical layout of the part, and the three-dimensional model includes mesh surface data. A cost as well as a time associated with the manufacturing of the part are generated. The cost and time to manufacture the part are outputted to a customer device. A system for generating fabrication parameters for fabrication of a part is also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 11561529
    Abstract: A factory server receives part requests from customer devices and controls one or more manufacturing tools, such as 3D printers, to fabricate the requested parts. The factory server implements several features to streamline the process of fabricating parts using the manufacturing tools. For instance, the factory server can facilitate the design of a part by extracting features from the part request and identifying model files having those features. The factory server can also select an orientation in which to fabricate the part and determine print settings to use when fabricating the part. In addition, the factory server can implement a process to fabricate a three-dimensional part with a two-dimensional image applied to one or more of its external surfaces. Furthermore, the factory server can also generate a layout of multiple part instances on a build plate of a 3D printer so that multiple part instances can be fabricated at once.

    Abstract: A system and method for fabricating a custom face mask. The system includes a factory client, wherein the factory client includes a computing device configured to receive, at a factory server and at least a user device, an image datum comprising a plurality of data of a face of a user. The computing device is further configured to map, as a function of a first machine-learning model, at least a facial landmark to a three-dimensional (3D) mesh of the image datum, map, as a function of a second machine-learning mode, a path to the 3D mesh including a boundary of a custom face mask configured for use on a user's face, generate a model file of a mold, instruct a manufacturing tool, and instruct a manufacturing device to thermoform the plastic component of the mold.
