  • Publication number: 20250082986
    Abstract: A treadmill, including a running platform, which includes a driving piece, a supporting piece and a border; the border is movably connected to the driving piece; the supporting piece is movably connected to the driving piece and is movably connected to the border; and the driving piece optionally drives the supporting piece to move to drive the border to move. In this way, a shorter translation stroke of the driving piece is converted into a longer rotating stroke of one end of the supporting piece through the supporting piece. Therefore, a stroke of the driving piece driving the running platform to move up and down can be enlarged, so that in a case that a longer stroke is required for adjustment, in-place adjustment can be achieved within a short time, and the requirement of rapid adjustment by a user can be met while energy consumption, noise and cost are reduced.

  • Patent number: 12215220
    Abstract: The invention relates to 3D printed parts made with thermoplastic polymers having a low stiffening temperature. 3D printed parts of the invention have very good Z layer adhesion, have a high elongation at break in the Z direction, preferably of more than 50 percent, and have at least an 80 percent ratio of Z to XY stress at yield or at break. The resulting part may be nearly isotropic—having similar mechanical properties in the XY and Z print directions. The excellent layer adhesion makes the resultant printed part more robust—able to withstand many cycles of use.

  • Patent number: 12194672
    Abstract: The invention relates to an ink based on near-infrared light polymerization. The method and technology of direct writing three-dimensional printing belong to the field of material processing technology area. The method is: direct writing nozzles move in three-dimensional space or stationery, the ink is squeezed out of the direct writing nozzle, receiving the near-infrared light irradiation, after curing, complete the three-dimensional object forming and curing. The solidifying time t does not exceed the ratio of near-infrared light diameter dl and the ink extrusion speed vi, that is, t?dl/vi. Since near-infrared light has a better medium mass penetration, can penetrate the structure during molding to promote both internal and external to a higher degree of curing, so as to achieve cross-scale structure 3D printing, and the method provided by the present invention accurately controls solidifying process of the ink and therefore achieve the DIW array 3D structure real-time curing.

  • Publication number: 20240262031
    Abstract: The invention relates to the use of a compatible thermoplastic material (film, sheet, or raft) as the base sheet or layer for 3-D printing an article. The use of the base film provides a means of printing a large article, and of reducing warpage by printing directly on the film. The printed article adheres to the film better than to traditional printer surfaces (glass, metal, glue, or reusable films), because the printed article and film weld together by forming chain entanglements, due to being compatible, miscible, or semi-miscible in the melt.
