Embodiment Construction

[0027] In the following detailed description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments. However, one of ordinary skill in the art would understand that the embodiments may be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, well-known methods, procedures, components and circuits have not been described in detail so as not to obscure the embodiments.

[0028] One or more specific embodiments of the invention are described below. In an effort to provide a concise description of these embodiments, not all features of an actual implementation may be described in the specification. It should be understood that in the development of any such actual implementation, such as in any engineering or design project, a number of implementation-specific decisions must be made in order to achieve the developer's specific goals, such as adherence to system-related and business-related constraints, which may vary by i...

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 printarm, 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.

Description

technical field [0001] Some embodiments disclosed herein relate to industrial assets, and more particularly, to systems and build platforms that can be reduced relative to methods associated with scan path generation for rotary additive manufacturing machines. Background technique [0002] Traditionally, an additive manufacturing process might create a part in a linear fashion. That is, a part can be sliced ​​into a set of layers at predetermined heights (usually equidistant), and each layer can then be built in turn by moving the laser beam in a predetermined two-dimensional trajectory ("scan path"). [0003] The creation of industrial asset items can be facilitated by a "spin" additive manufacturing process. For example, during printing, the build plate may be rotated about a vertical axis and moved relative to the print arm along the vertical axis. That is, the print arm, the print arm may lift relative to the build platform, etc. Two improvements related to rotary mac...
