Publication number: 20160129503Abstract: A system is disclosed for performing an Additive Manufacturing (AM) fabrication process on a powdered material forming a substrate. The system may make use of a diode array for generating an optical signal sufficient to melt a powdered material of the substrate. A mask may be used for preventing a first predetermined portion of the optical signal from reaching the substrate, while allowing a second predetermined portion to reach the substrate. At least one processor may be used for controlling an output of the diode array.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 5, 2016Publication date: May 12, 2016Inventors: Bassem S. EL-DASHER, Andrew BAYRAMIAN, James A. DEMUTH, Joseph C. FARMER, Sharon G. TORRES

Publication number: 20160129506Abstract: A drill with a drill flute (12) includes symmetrical fluted lands (20) helically extend around a core, wherein grooves (18) remain between the fluted lands, said grooves having a width (72) that exceeds the spine thickness or width (24) of the fluted lands (20), and wherein the grooves (18) comprise a convex core reinforcement (22) at the groove bottom thereof. The width (24) of the fluted lands (20) at the drill head side end (16) is smaller than at the shank side end (14) of the drill helix (12), and at least increases in certain areas. The core reinforcement (22) at the drill head side end (16) is more convex than at the shank side end (14), thus has larger radii (40, 42).Type: ApplicationFiled: November 7, 2014Publication date: May 12, 2016Inventors: Martin Stumpp, Alexander Zurn, Peter Kehrle, Tobias Berg
