Tantalum based crucible
ActiveUS7056383B2Material minimizationAfter-treatment apparatusPolycrystalline material growthCrucibleGraphite
A crucible is provided that is thermally stable at high temperatures and is suitable for use in the growth of large, bulk AlN, AlxGa1-xN or other nitride single crystals. The crucible is comprised of specially treated tantalum. During the initial treatment, the walls of the crucible are carburized, thus achieving a crucible that can be subjected to high temperatures without deformation. Once the carburization of the tantalum is complete, the crucible undergoes further treatment to protect the surfaces that are expected to come into contact with nitride vapors during crystal growth with a layer of TaN. If the crucible is to be used with a graphite furnace, only the inner surfaces of the crucible are converted to TaN, thus keeping TaC surfaces adjacent to the graphite furnace elements. If the crucible is to be used with a non-graphite furnace, both the inner and outer surfaces of the crucible are converted to TaN.

Techniques for Automatically Placing Escape Holes during Three-Dimensional Printing
ActiveUS20160136883A1Improve automationShorten design timeAdditive manufacturing apparatusAuxillary shaping apparatusHeuristicEngineering
In one embodiment of the present invention, an escape hole generator creates escapes holes designed to facilitate removal of support and / or unprinted material generated inside enclosed hollows of three-dimensional (3D) digital models during 3D printing. In operation, the escape hole generator identifies a hollow included in the three-dimensional model and then selects optimized locations for escape holes. Notably, the escape hole generator selects the locations to optimize placement heuristics, such as favoring locations closer to the bottom of the 3D model, while satisfying escape hole constraints (e.g., hole size and spacing requirements). The escape hole generator then perforates the hollow at the selected locations with geometries that provide channels from the outer surface of the hollow to the outer surface of the hollow. Advantageously, automating escape hole generation enables efficient creation of hollowed 3D models that reduce 3D printing time and material usage compared to solid 3D model counterparts.
