Abstract: A three-dimensional (3D) metal object manufacturing apparatus is operated to compensate for surface deviations of overhanging features differently than for non-overhanging features. The compensation technique used for the overhanging features depends on whether an edge of the overhanging feature being formed in a next layer has curved or sharp corners.

Abstract: A three-dimensional (3D) metal object manufacturing apparatus is equipped with a wire detector to determine a position of a top surface of melted metal contained in a receptacle of a heated vessel in the apparatus from time to time. The solid metal wire being fed into the heated vessel is retracted and the length of the retracted wire is determined using a signal generated by the wire detector. The determined length of the wire is used to identify the position of the top level of the melted metal in the receptacle so the receptacle can be replenished if the level has fallen below a predetermined capacity for the receptacle.

Abstract: Systems for and methods of providing a feed rate for three-dimensional printing a part are presented. The disclosed techniques include: obtaining computer readable toolpath instructions for the part, where the toolpath instructions specify a nominal feed rate for a toolpath segment and spatial toolpath data of the toolpath segment; providing an input including the spatial toolpath data to a trained machine learning system, where the trained machine learning system has been trained using training data including: training spatial toolpath data, training closed loop gain data, and training feed rate data; obtaining a revised feed rate for the toolpath segment different from the nominal feed rate for the toolpath segment, where the revised feed rate is output from the trained machine learning system; and providing revised computer readable toolpath instructions, where the revised machine learning toolpath instructions include the revised feed rate.

Abstract: A slicer in a material drop ejecting three-dimensional (3D) object printer identifies the positions and local densities for a plurality of infill lines within a perimeter to be formed within a layer of an object to be formed by the printer. The local density of each infill line is filtered and a control law is applied to the filtered local density to identify an error in the local density compared to a target density. This process is performed iteratively until the error is within a predetermined tolerance range about the target local density. The error is used to generate machine ready instructions to operate the 3D object printer to achieve the target density for the infill lines.

Abstract: A slicer in a material drop ejecting three-dimensional (3D) object printer determines the number of material drops to eject to form a perimeter in an object layer and distributes a quantization error over the layers forming the perimeter. The slicer also identifies the location for the first material drop ejected to form the perimeter using a blue noise generator.

Abstract: A method includes ejecting a plurality of drops of a build material from a nozzle of a 3D printer. The build material cools and solidifies after being ejected to form a 3D object. The method also includes controlling an oxidation of the drops, the 3D object or both to create different oxidation levels in first and second portions of the 3D object.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method of forming an overhang for a three-dimensional printed part. The method includes ejecting one or more drops of a print material to create a preform onto a top layer of a three-dimensional printed part where the preform is oriented at an angle of 60 degrees or greater relative to a print bed in a first dimension, and bending the preform to form the overhang having an angle of less than 90 degrees relative to the print bed, and where no portion of the preform contacts the print bed. A printing system for executing a method of forming an overhang for a three-dimensional printed part is also disclosed.

Abstract: A three-dimensional (3D) metal object manufacturing apparatus is operated to form sloping surfaces having a slope angle of more than 45° from a line that is perpendicular to the structure on which the layer forming the slope surface is formed. The angle corresponds to a step-out distance from the perpendicular line and a maximum individual step-out distance determined from empirically derived data. Multiple passes of an ejection head of the apparatus can be performed within a layer to form a sloped edge and the mass of the sloped structure is distributed within the sloped edge so the edge is formed without defects.

Abstract: A method of operating a three-dimensional (3D) metal object manufacturing apparatus selects operational parameters for operation of the printer to form conductive metal traces on substrates with dimensions within appropriate tolerances and with sufficient conductive material to carry electrical currents without burning up or becoming too hot. The method identifies the material of the substrate and the bulk metal being melted for ejection and uses this identification data to select the operational parameters. Thus, the method can form conductive traces and circuits on a wide range of substrate materials including polymeric substrates, semiconductor materials, oxide layers on semiconductor materials, glass, and other crystalline materials.
