3D Printed Objects With Stepped Bead Configuration

The bead configuration is segmented into distinct layers with different patterns: the first layer uses alternating high and low beads, while subsequent layers use uniform height beads. This segmentation allows each layer to serve a specific structural function, with the first layer providing fracture angle modification and subsequent layers providing uniform strength, thereby resolving the contradiction between strength improvement and configuration complexity.

The patent applies different bead height characteristics to different locations within the structure. The first layer features localized alternating high and low beads at specific positions, while subsequent layers maintain uniform bead heights. This local quality approach targets the fracture angle issue at its origin (first layer) without unnecessarily complicating the entire structure, thus improving shear strength while limiting overall complexity.

The alternating high-low bead pattern is segmented to apply only to the first layer, while subsequent layers use uniform height beads. This segmentation reduces material consumption compared to applying the alternating pattern throughout all layers, while still achieving the primary goal of fracture angle modification and strength improvement in the critical first layer.

Instead of applying the alternating bead pattern excessively to all layers, the patent uses partial action by limiting it to only the first layer. This partial application is sufficient to achieve the main objective of improving tensile strength by modifying the fracture angle, while avoiding unnecessary material consumption in layers where uniform beads are adequate.

The bead configuration is segmented into two distinct types: the first layer with alternating high and low beads to address shear strength, and subsequent layers with uniform beads for manufacturing simplicity. This segmentation allows the patent to achieve both goals simultaneously by applying complexity only where necessary (first layer) and simplicity where sufficient (subsequent layers).

The alternating bead pattern is applied locally only to the first layer where fracture angle modification is most critical for shear strength. Subsequent layers maintain uniform bead heights for manufacturing simplicity. This local quality approach ensures that the complexity of alternating patterns is applied only where it provides the greatest structural benefit.

The layer configuration is segmented into a specialized first layer with alternating high-low beads and subsequent uniform layers. This segmentation isolates the complexity to only the first layer, which is sufficient to alter the fracture angle and improve shear strength, while keeping the rest of the structure simple and easy to manufacture.

The alternating bead pattern is applied locally to the first layer where fracture angle modification provides the greatest benefit for shear strength. This local quality approach avoids unnecessary complexity in subsequent layers where uniform beads are sufficient, thereby resolving the contradiction between strength improvement and overall configuration complexity.
