  • Publication number: 20230271381
    Abstract: A three-dimensional (3D) object and a 3D object production process comprising: providing a thermoset printing apparatus comprising: a mixing chamber to receive and mix at least a first reactive component and a second reactive component to provide a thermosetting material, an extrusion nozzle to deliver the thermosetting material to form a 3D object, at least one actuator coupled to the extrusion nozzle to move the extrusion nozzle when delivering the thermosetting material to form the 3D object, and a controller comprising one or more processors and coupled to the extruded thermoset printing apparatus, and depositing the thermosetting material to form the 3D object, wherein the depositing comprises depositing a lead-in block layer of thermosetting material, depositing a lead-in bridge layer of thermosetting material, depositing a main part layer of thermosetting material, depositing a lead-out bridge layer, and depositing a lead-out block layer.

  • Publication number: 20220080663
    Abstract: A three-dimensional (3D) object and a 3D object production process is disclosed comprising depositing the thermosetting resin along the deposition path during at least a portion of which the thermosetting resin is produced and deposited according to the one or more deposition parameters to form one or more layers of the thermosetting resin according to the predefined design; scanning at least a portion of the one or more of the deposited layers of the thermosetting resin to detect one or more perturbations present therein, which differ from the predefined design to form a perturbation profile; adjusting the one or more deposition parameters of one or more subsequent layers based the perturbation profile; and depositing the subsequent one or more layers of thermosetting resin according to the adjusted deposition parameters to form the 3D object according to the predefined design.
