  • Devices and systems for using additive manufacturing to manufacture a tool crown
    Patent number: 11459830
    Abstract: A tool includes a base with a crown extending from the base. The crown is additively manufactured on the base, forming a bond between the crown and the base. At least one protrusion may extend from the base surface into a recess in the crown, such that the crown encompasses the protrusion. The protrusion may mechanically interlock the base and the crown to improve torque transfer between the crown and base. The bond at the contact between the base and crown may include impregnating at least a portion of the crown with the material of the base, or at least a portion of base with the material of the crown, which may improve a connection between the crown and base.
