  • LIGHT SOURCE VARIABILITY CORRECTION IN ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING
    Publication number: 20230330935
    Abstract: A method of reducing performance deviation in at least one additive manufacturing apparatus during production of parts is provided. Each apparatus has a light source configured for polymerizing a light polymerizable resin with sequential doses of patterned light to produce a 3D object. The light source has an assigned nominal emission data, such as an expected or preset standard emission data, and actual emission data. The method includes modifying at least some of said light doses in said at least one apparatus during production of parts therein to compensate for a deviation of said actual light source emission data from the assigned nominal emission data.

  • Anodized aluminum alloy products having improved appearance and/or abrasion resistance, and methods of making the same
    Patent number: 10087542
    Abstract: New methods of producing anodized aluminum alloy products having an improved surface appearance properties are disclosed. The methods may include preparing an aluminum alloy body for anodizing, thereby producing an anodized aluminum alloy body, contacting an intended viewing surface of the anodized aluminum alloy body with an acid, thereby producing a prepared intended viewing surface of the anodized aluminum alloy body, and sealing the prepared intended viewing surface of the anodized aluminum alloy body. The anodized aluminum alloy products may realize a preselected color tolerance, such as realizing a b* value that is within a specified tolerance of a preselected b* value.
