Introduction

Max Hossinger is an inventor based in Metzingen, Germany. His patent work concerns additive manufacturing, with a focus on controlling the flow of molten material during 3D printing.

Latest Patents

Hossinger is associated with 1 patent: “Method and Apparatus for the Additive Manufacture of a Product.” The invention describes depositing molten material as a strand onto a printing table while the 3D printing head, the table, or both move according to a product-specific computer program.

A needle-valve nozzle supplies the melt to the 3D printing nozzle. The method specifies a target volumetric flow based on the geometry of the strand and the nozzle’s or table’s travel rate. The nozzle needle moves between open and closed positions to maintain that flow during production.

Career Highlights

Hossinger is associated with KraussMaffei Technologies GmbH. His patent highlights an approach to regulating material delivery in additive manufacturing, linking the desired strand geometry and movement speed to the nozzle’s operation.

Collaborations

The provided information lists Andreas Bierbaumer and Daniel Hummel as Hossinger’s coworkers. Their specific roles in the patent or related work are not specified.

Conclusion

Max Hossinger’s patent focuses on precise melt-flow control for additive manufacturing, connecting nozzle operation with the geometry and movement required to produce a product.
