International Classification:

G05B 19/4099
G06K 15/02
B33Y 50/02
B23K 26/342

Abstract:

A method, medium, and system to automatically determine parameter sets for an additive manufacturing (AM) of a part, the method including executing a load analysis on a model of a part to emulate a load on each of a plurality of regions of the part; determining a representation of the model of the part as a plurality of discrete three-dimensional (3D) volume elements; determining, based on an output of the load analysis, a life or material property value to assign to each of the plurality of 3D volume elements; automatically determining an assignment of one of a plurality of additive manufacturing (AM) print parameter sets to each of the plurality of 3D volume elements; and saving a record of the determined assignments of the AM print parameter sets to each of the plurality of 3D volume elements.

International Classification:

G05B 19/4099

Abstract:

Some embodiments facilitate creation of an industrial asset item via an additive manufacturing process wherein motion is provided between a build plate and a print arm. A correction engine may receive, from an industrial asset item definition data store containing at least one electronic record defining the industrial asset item, the data defining the industrial asset item. A correction engine computer processor may then correct the motion provided between the build plate and the print arm such that the motion deviates from a path indicated by the data defining the industrial asset item. The three-dimension printer may be a rotary printer such that the build plate rotates about a vertical axis and moves along the vertical axis during printing. In these cases, a pre-compensation algorithm may be applied to correct the motion provided between the build plate and the print arm before transmitting data to the three-dimensional additive manufacturing printer.

B22F 3/105
G06T 17/00

Abstract:

Some embodiments facilitate creation of an industrial asset item via a rotary additive manufacturing process. For example, a build plate may rotate about a vertical axis and move, relative to a print arm, along the vertical axis during printing. An industrial asset item definition data store may contain at least one electronic record defining the industrial asset item. A frame creation computer processor may slice the data defining the industrial asset item to create a series of two-dimensional, locally linear frames helically arranged as a spiral staircase of steps (and each step may be oriented normal to the vertical axis. Indications of the series of two-dimensional frames may then be output to be provided to a rotary three-dimensional printer.

Abstract:

An acoustophoresis device made up of modular components is disclosed. Several modules are disclosed herein, including ultrasonic transducer modules, input/output modules, collection well modules, and various connector modules. These permit different systems to be constructed that have appropriate fluid dynamics for separation of particles, such as biological cells, from a fluid.
