  • Publication number: 20230071980
    Abstract: A method of additive manufacturing a three-dimensional object by layerwise deposition of a building material with an inkjet printing system comprising a print head and a building tray, comprises calculating a weighting value for each nozzle, then for each layer obtaining a 2-D map of the layer, comprising active pixels at building material dispensing positions; obtaining a Data Correction Filter (DCF) including a height map of the previous layer, comparing the data of the 2D map to the data of the DCF at each position and determining if the nozzle at that position should dispense, then printing the layer, updating the weighting values and adjusting the position of the print head vis a vis the printing tray. The above is repeated until the three-dimensional object is printed.

  • Publication number: 20200399411
    Abstract: Modeling material formulation systems usable in additive manufacturing, 3D inkjet printing in particular, of three-dimensional objects, are provided. The formulations comprise two or more curable materials, such that an average molecular weight of the curable materials in each formulation is no more than 500 grams/mol, such that each formulation features a viscosity of no more than 50 centipoises at a temperature of 35° C. Kits comprising the formulations or formulation systems and additive manufacturing processes utilizing same are also provided.

  • Publication number: 20200338834
    Abstract: Formulations usable as support material in additive manufacturing such as 3D inkjet printing and which feature a viscosity of no more than 50 cPs at 35° C., are provided. The formulations are composed of at least one hydrophilic curable material which provides, when hardened, a material that is dissolvable or swellable in an aqueous solution; and at least one non-curable material that is capable of being swelled by said hardened material formed of said at least one curable material. Additive manufacturing processes utilizing these formulations and objects obtained thereby are also provided.
