  • Patent number: 11986995
    Abstract: The disclosure provides methods of additive manufacture of components in layers in a powder bed by at least two laser beams that can be deflected two-dimensionally over the same powder bed region. Each laser focal spot is projected onto the power bed and is or is set to a diameter of less than or equal to 300 ?m. Components to be produced in the powder bed region are manufactured by each of the laser beams, and each individual surface contour of the component is manufactured solely by one of the laser beams.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 9, 2019
    Date of Patent: May 21, 2024
    Assignee: TRUMPF Laser- und Systemtechnik GmbH
    Inventors: Uwe Huber, Johannes Bauer, Michael Thielmann, Joachim Wagner, Jürgen Ortmann, Matthias Allenberg-Rabe, Detlef Breitling, Damien Buchbinder, Florian Krist
  • Patent number: 11123931
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a methods and devices for producing three-dimensional objects by a beam acting on and selectively solidifying a construction material applied layer by layer. The devices include at least one process chamber, which has a building platform on which the three-dimensional object is created, a radiation source for producing the beam, at least one beam guiding element, and a process assisting device movable above the building platform and having a first and second module with a beam guiding portion arranged between for the beam that is directed onto the building platform. Each module has at least one application device for discharging construction material and a monitoring device with at least one sensor element for sensing the applied and solidified layer of construction material.

  • Patent number: 7454991
    Abstract: A shiftable multispeed reverse transmission having one input shaft (1) and a plurality of countershafts (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7) and one output shaft (8). One of gears and/or idle gears being situated upon the countershafts (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7) for non-rotatably connection with the countershafts, via shiftable clutches, for gear and direction change. The reduction ratios being generated by spur pinion stages and at least one shiftable planetary stage (P).
