Manufacturing Platforms/Substrates TRIZ Cases
- Ball Joint Calibration for Stereolithography Build Platform
A ball joint and locking mechanism calibrate the build platform orientation to prevent collisions with the exposure arrangement.
- 3D Printing Modifiable Support Structure for Material Reduction
A 3D printer adjusts its support structure shape during printing to hold the object.
- Clad Metal Build Substrate for DED Component Separation
Segmenting the build substrate into a dissolvable clad layer and a reusable support base eliminates expensive post-processing cutting steps.
- 3D Printing Powder Layer Height Variation for Uniform Heating
Adjusting powder layer height and solidification parameters reduces temperature gradients in selective laser melting, shortening waiting time between layers.
- 3D Printing Diffuser Plate for In Situ Material Removal
An airflow channel and vibration mechanism remove unused build material through platform holes, eliminating external removal devices.
- Porous Stereolithography Container Bottom for Oxygen Inhibition
Porous container bottoms store and release inhibitors to lower separation forces, avoiding costly Teflon films.
- Hybrid Additive Manufacturing Using Dual Heat Sources
A hybrid additive manufacturing method uses a first heat source to form a structure and a second heat source to solidify infill powder.
- Free-Space 3D Printing With Filament Nest Support
Segmented fiber-reinforced filaments form a nest that prevents workpiece sticking and enables multi-angle material deposition.
- Single-Printhead 3D Printing with Mixing Chamber and EHD Jetting
A single-printhead 3D printing apparatus mixes multiple materials in a dedicated chamber before depositing them via electrohydrodynamic jetting.
- Polycarbonate 3D Printer Bed Cover with Adhesive Layer
A polycarbonate substrate with a double coated adhesive layer adheres to printer beds for consistent object attachment.
- Stereo lithography Vat Air Channel Film Stretching
Air channel evacuates recess to stretch transparent film against support surface, preventing air bubbles and maintaining optical clarity for resin curing.
