  • Patent number: 10974449
    Abstract: A three-dimensional printing system having a light beam radiating unit is provided, which radiates a light beam onto the powder layer to be sintered or melted, solidifying the powder, a scanning mechanism which redirects and focuses the light beam in a three-dimensional space, a cover that moves integrally with the scanning unit of the light beam, wherein an inlet nozzle and an exhaust manifold ensure inert atmosphere to the process, a powder delivery unit that supplies this material over the object construction area; a powder leveling device leveling the powder delivered from the powder delivery unit to form a powder layer, a powder supply unit for storing and metering material for the delivery unit, constituting a module independent from the system.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20170259317
    Abstract: The present application describes a system to compensate deformations in press bending machines, in particular press bending machines used for plate conformation or bending, which comprises a group of uprights (1) for supporting the upper apron (7) of the press bending machine, wherein each upright (1) comprises two beams (2,3) placed on the upper and lower ends of a pillar (4) being coupled thereof by means of fastening means (5) and a compensation actuator (6) placed between the beams (2,3) and coupled to the beam (3) at one end thereof. The presented technology allows to increase the distance between the aprons of the press bending machine and the upright scye (1) so that said press bending machine allow the plate deformation in various shapes and dimensions.
