Title: Kirin Xu - Innovator in 3D Printing Technology
Introduction
Kirin Xu is a notable inventor based in Aliso Viejo, California. He has made significant contributions to the field of 3D printing technology, particularly through his innovative patent that enhances the efficiency and quality of photopolymer 3D printers. His work is characterized by a focus on improving the printing process and reducing potential issues related to vapor condensation.
Latest Patents
Kirin Xu holds a patent for an "Air curtain for photopolymer 3D printer." This invention describes apparatuses and methods for creating three-dimensional objects from solidifiable materials. The patent outlines a pattern generator that utilizes at least one lens to transmit light to a photopolymer, which solidifies through curing, layer by layer, in the shape of the received light patterns. The curing reactions are exothermic, generating heat that can cause portions of the material to vaporize. To combat this, a crossflow blower, referred to as an 'air curtain' or “tangential blower,” is employed to blow air across the lenses. This isolates the lenses from photopolymer vapors, preventing condensation or deposition that could distort images or reduce light intensity.
Career Highlights
Kirin Xu is currently employed at Sprintray Inc., where he continues to develop and refine technologies related to 3D printing. His expertise in photopolymerization and vapor management has positioned him as a key player in the advancement of 3D printing solutions.
