Latest Patents

The available information identifies one patent associated with Marinheiro: “Composition for Additive Manufacturing by Binder Jet Printing and Method for Additive Manufacturing by Binder Jet Printing.”

The invention describes a composition containing ceramic particulate material that has undergone heat treatment and a water-soluble particulate binder. The ceramic material is heated to between 600 and 1,200 °C for one to 20 hours. The patent also describes a manufacturing method that repeatedly deposits a layer of the composition on a printing bed and applies a liquid binder.

According to the patent description, heat treatment creates bonds and aggregations between ceramic particles, helping preserve their structure during printing. The approach is intended to improve the mechanical integrity of printed objects and reduce design defects. Marinheiro is credited with 1 patent.
