Controlled heating melts ballistics gelatin for extrusion, while cooling solidifies complex structures and replaces slow, costly molding.
Advertisement presence data generates shaping data before layer stacking, enabling lower-cost 3D objects with integrated ads.
A continuous resistor layer and opposing spring contacts heat the nozzle pipe around its circumference, reducing warm-up time and dripping.
Uneven filament heating is addressed by routing material through a passage and melt channels linked by apertures before extrusion.
Scaled laser or electron-beam parameters heat the manufacturing plane to limit thermal gradients and material defects.
Independent sources activate only where RAM is deposited, reducing energy use and unwanted heating while improving consolidation quality.
This case uses delayed final curing across layer formation to close gaps, improve transparency, and print complex shapes without supports.
This classroom 3D printer uses crayon wax, low-temperature heating, passive Z-axis motion, and material recasting.
A hybrid resin uses light and heat curing to improve toughness, Tg, and printing precision in lithography-based manufacturing.
Sensors guide patterned internal and external heating during additive manufacturing, reducing thermal warpage and residual stress.
A nozzle applies molten polymer as helical filaments on a shaping last, enabling fast, customizable mesh shoe uppers with reduced waste.
Calibration layers use absorption modifiers and thermal sensing to align heating across printers and environments.
Heating powder during deposition shortens waits and improves temperature control for sintering.
