A detachable carrier sheet becomes part of the 3D build, avoiding sawing and surface rework while preserving part quality.
Pulsed laser heating and rapid cooling form an amorphous matrix with nanocrystals, improving strength and fatigue resistance without post-processing.
A shared heat source and recycling loop enable in-space additive manufacturing and machining for autonomous part production and repair.
Rotating a starter bar and depositing material in cylindrical coordinates improves circularity, cuts support waste, and smooths printed parts.
