Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is titled "Apparatus and method for the separation of a foil from a material layer." This invention provides an apparatus and method that helps prevent the newly hardened layer from being separated from the previously formed layer of an object during the peeling process. By utilizing a peel angle, the invention distributes the peeling force, minimizing the z-direction component applied to the newly hardened layer. Additionally, the object can be oriented to initiate the peel at a specific area, resulting in a lesser initial peeling force on the newly hardened layer.
Another significant patent is "System and method for layerwise production of a tangible object." This system includes a construction shape with a carrying surface for a layer of build material, a plate for holding an object in the build area, and a moveable reservoir designed to contain a volume of build material. The exposure unit is adapted to solidify a portion of the layer of build material, forming a solidified layer of the object.
