Embodiment Construction

[0048] Referring to figures in which like reference numerals refer to like elements, in figure 1 and 2 A repair system 10 and method 12 for repairing a substrate 14 having a damaged portion 114 defining a void 16 and having a void surface 214 is generally shown in . The repair system 10 and method 12 can be used to repair cracks, scratches, dents, nicks, tears and / or holes 216 that define completely through the substrate 14 ( Figure 4B ) of the damaged substrate 14 . In particular, repair system 10 and method 12 may be used to repair substrate 14 in situ, ie, without removing substrate 14 from the device prior to repairing substrate 14 . Such as image 3 As shown, in one non-limiting example, substrate 14 may be a scratched or perforated interior surface of a vehicle. exist Figure 5 In another non-limiting example shown, the substrate 14 may be a dented or punctured exterior panel of a vehicle, such as a quarter panel, door panel, decklid, hood, roof, fender, etc. . A...

Abstract

A repair system includes a scanning system configured for determining a contour of a void surface. The repair system also includes an additive manufacturing system configured for sequentially printinga plurality of individual layers each disposed on one another adjacent the void surface according to the contour. A method of repairing a substrate having a damaged portion defining a void and havingthe void surface is also disclosed.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a repair system and method for repairing a substrate having a damaged portion defining a void. Background technique [0002] Devices such as vehicles may operate in harsh conditions and environments, and may occasionally be damaged during use. For example, the body of the car may be dented or punctured when it comes into contact with an object. Likewise, vehicle interior surfaces may be scratched, scored, punctured, or otherwise damaged during operation of the vehicle. Contents of the invention [0003] A repair system includes: a substrate having a damaged portion defining a void and having a void surface; and a scanning system configured to profile the void surface. The repair system also includes a patch that is contoured and includes a plurality of individual layers stacked on top of each other. Additionally, the repair system includes an additive manufacturing system configured to sequentially print a pluralit...
