Optics, detectors, and three-dimensional printing

This is a 3D printer that uses an energy beam, like a laser, directed by optical elements to build objects layer by layer on a surface. The device is designed to shape the energy beam and can also detect specific characteristics of the surface it's printing on.

Why it matters: Filed in 2023, this invention's focus on real-time detection and process control for energy beams is now more viable. Advances in AI and machine learning since then have significantly improved the capability for real-time sensor data analysis and adaptive control in manufacturing processes.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedPrecision optics, high-power energy source, sensors, control software
