摘要: The devices, systems, and methods of the present disclosure are directed to powder spreading and binder distribution techniques for consistent and rapid layer-by-layer fabrication of three-dimensional objects formed through binder jetting. For example, a powder may be spread to form a layer along a volume defined by a powder box, a binder may be deposited along the layer to form a layer of a three-dimensional object, and the direction of spreading the layer and depositing the binder may be in a first direction and in a second direction, different from the first direction, thus facilitating rapid formation of the three-dimensional object with each passage of the print carriage over the volume. Powder delivery, powder spreading, thermal energy delivery, and combinations thereof, may facilitate consistently achieving quality standards as the rate of fabrication of the three-dimensional object is increased.

摘要: The devices, systems, and methods of the present disclosure are directed to spreading powder to facilitate accurate layer-by-layer fabrication of three-dimensional objects formed through binder jetting. More specifically, a spreader may be moved across a volume defined by a powder box to spread the powder in a layer. As the spreader is moved across the volume, the spreader may vibrate to pack the powder in the volume. By applying this vibration to the powder on a layer-by-layer basis, the resulting three-dimensional object formed through the binder jetting process may have improved density. In turn, such improved density may be useful for forming the three-dimensional objects into finished parts meeting target density standards, which may be particularly useful in the fabrication of metal parts. Further, or instead, applying vibration to the powder may reduce the likelihood of layer-to-layer variations in the three-dimensional object, thus reducing the likelihood of defects in finished parts.

摘要: The devices, systems, and methods of the present disclosure are directed to dispensing powder for rapid and accurate layer-by-layer fabrication of three-dimensional objects formed through binder jetting. More specifically, a powder may be dispensed from a hopper movable over a volume defined by a powder box to facilitate, for example, rapidly delivering powder in front of a spreader movable across the volume to spread the powder into a layer. The hopper may include a plurality of dispensing rollers along a dispensing region of the hopper. The dispensing rollers may be rotatable relative to one another to control dispensing the powder from the hopper to an area in front of the spreader, reducing wasted motion associated with moving a spreader to retrieve powder from a stationary powder supply and reducing the likelihood of inadvertently delivering powder from the hopper to unintended areas.

摘要: The devices, systems, and methods of the present disclosure are directed to thermal energy delivery to facilitate rapid layer-by-layer fabrication of three-dimensional objects formed through binder jetting. More specifically, a powder may be spread to form a layer along a volume defined by a powder box, a binder may be deposited along the layer to form a layer of a three-dimensional object, and the direction of spreading the layer and depositing the binder may be in a first direction and in a second direction, different from the first direction, thus facilitating rapid formation of the three-dimensional object. Thermal energy may be delivered to each layer in the first and second directions to dry or otherwise change the binder and/or the powder to reduce the likelihood of distorting the binder in a given layer as a subsequent layer is rapidly formed over the given layer.
