Adhesion test station in an extrusion apparatus and methods for using the same

A method of controlling an additive fabrication process includes providing a primary substrate and a test substrate. Polymer test material is extruded onto the test substrate utilizing an extrusion head. The extrusion head is moved relative to the test substrate, and a force required to move the extrusion head relative to the test substrate is measured to thereby generate test data. A part is fabricated by extruding polymer material onto the primary substrate utilizing the extrusion head. The test data is utilized to control at least one process parameter associated with extruding polymer material onto the primary substrate.

Multi-material three dimensional printer

A layer of a first powder is dispensed in a layer over a build plate. Binder is then selectively applied to hold portions of the layer of first powder together. Unbound first powder is then removed. A second powder is then dispensed in a layer over the build plate and portions of the bound first powder above the build plate. Binder is then selectively applied to hold portions of the second powder together. Unbound second powder is then removed. A third or more different powders can be similarly dispensed and bound to complete a multi-material layer. The process is then be repeated on a next subsequent layer. A curing radiation source can accelerate binding of powder together. Voids can be formed in portions of the layers by dispensing a fugitive material in portions of each multi-material layer. Mechanisms for implementing the printing process are also disclosed.

Method and machine for producing three-dimensional objects by means of successive layer deposition

Inventive machine allowing the simultaneous fabrication of several objects by a method of “rapid prototyping” type, by depositing a succession of layers of heat-fusible fluid.It chiefly comprises a crossbar (20) carrying two platforms (11) on each of which an object is fabricated by deposition. Two fixed work stations are arranged diametrically opposite each other so that the jet (12) of each of these fixed stations can perform a depositing operation at the same time as the other jet (12). After each deposit, the crossbar is rotated 180° to alternate the depositing operations of the two different materials.Particular application to prototyping jewellery models.
