Additive manufacturing components and methods

This invention describes a 3D printing method that builds an object layer by layer using a process called functional binder jetting. During the build, it pauses to jet a different material in a 2D pattern onto the partially formed object. It then continues the binder jetting, embedding this 2D structure inside the final product, which is typically made of metal, alloy, or ceramic.

Why it matters: Since 2021, multi-material 3D printing and advanced functional binders have matured, enabling practical embedding of diverse structures within complex parts.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedMultiple print heads, powder bed, software control
