Latest Patents

Schaede is credited with 1 patent: “Method and apparatus for producing three-dimensional objects by selectively solidifying a build material applied layer by layer.” The patent describes an apparatus with a process chamber and a process assistance device that facilitates a primary gas flow. A feed device above the build platform directs a secondary gas flow through a feed opening, using two feed channels positioned on either side of a beam inlet opening.

The process chamber has opposing wall portions whose flow surfaces narrow the chamber’s cross-sectional area toward the build platform. This arrangement, together with the directed gas flows, forms part of the apparatus for producing three-dimensional objects through layer-by-layer selective solidification.

Career Highlights

Schaede’s listed patent concerns additive manufacturing, specifically the design of gas-flow and process-chamber components in equipment for producing three-dimensional objects. His association with TRUMPF Laser- und Systemtechnik GmbH connects his work to a company active in laser and manufacturing technologies.

Collaborations

Schaede’s listed coworkers include Lukas Witz and Kai Etzel. The available information identifies these professional connections but does not specify their roles in the patent.

Conclusion

Florian Schaede’s patent addresses apparatus design for layer-by-layer production of three-dimensional objects, with particular attention to controlled gas flow and process-chamber geometry.
