Additive manufacturing system with fabricated support structure facilitating contaminant removal

This is a 3D metal printing system designed to create more accurate objects. After a metal object is printed and then heated in a sintering furnace, a laser scanner measures the finished part. This measurement provides feedback to the system, allowing it to adjust its design files or printing instructions for subsequent objects, improving their fidelity to the original design.

Why it matters: Filed before widespread adoption of AI/ML in manufacturing process control. The complex feedback loop and dynamic CAD modification are now more computationally feasible.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedMetal 3D printer, laser scanner, sintering furnace, software
