Abstract: 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.

Abstract: A method of metal additive manufacturing, including forming a three-dimensional object as a successive series of layers. At least some of the successive layers is formed by depositing a layer of build material powder on a work surface, depositing a predetermined pattern of fugitive fluid and depositing a predetermined pattern of binder fluid, wherein the predetermined pattern of fugitive fluid improves at least one characteristic of the three-dimensional part.

Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods are directed to the use of vapor phase change in binder jetting processes for forming three-dimensional objects. In general, a vapor of a first fluid may be directed to a layer of a powder spread across a build volume. The vapor may condense to reduce mobility of the particles of the powder of the layer. For example, the condensing vapor may reduce the likelihood of particle ejection from the layer and, thus, may reduce the likelihood of clogging or otherwise degrading a printhead used to jet a second fluid (e.g., a binder) to the layer. Further, or instead, the condensing vapor may increase the density of the powder in the layer which, when repeated over a plurality of layers forming a three-dimensional object, may reduce the likelihood of slumping of the part during sintering.

Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods are directed to applying magnetohydrodynamic forces to liquid metal to eject liquid metal along a controlled pattern, such as a controlled three-dimensional pattern as part of additive manufacturing of an object. Electric current delivered to a meniscus of the liquid metal in a quiescent state can be directed to exert a pullback force on the liquid metal. The pullback force can be sufficient to draw the liquid metal, in the quiescent state, in a direction toward the nozzle to reduce the likelihood of unintended wetting of surfaces of the nozzle between uses of the nozzle.

Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods are directed to switching between pneumatically actuated ejection and electrically actuated ejection of liquid metal from a nozzle moving along a controlled three-dimensional pattern to fabricate a three-dimensional object. Electrically actuated ejection can be useful, for example, for delivering discrete droplets in areas of the object requiring a high degree of accuracy. Pneumatic ejection can be useful, for example, for delivering a stream of liquid metal from the nozzle to provide liquid metal rapidly to areas of the object that require less accuracy (e.g., an inner portion of the object). Accordingly, switching between pneumatically actuated ejection and electrically actuated ejection can facilitate accurate and rapid production of parts through additive manufacturing.
