Title: Innovations in 3D Metal Printing by Michael F Dapiran
Introduction
Michael F Dapiran is an accomplished inventor based in Webster, NY, known for his significant contributions to the field of three-dimensional (3D) metal printing. With a total of two patents to his name, Dapiran has developed innovative technologies that enhance the manufacturing process of metal objects.
Latest Patents
Dapiran's latest patents include a "Metal drop ejecting three-dimensional (3D) object printer and method of operation for forming support structures in 3D metal objects." This invention features a metal object manufacturing apparatus designed to eject melted metal drops, creating a continuous metal line over spatially separated pillars in a single pass. The ejection frequency for forming the continuous metal line differs from that used to form the pillars, with specific frequencies and drop spacings optimized for efficiency. Another notable patent is the "Method and apparatus for forming overhang structures with a metal drop ejecting three-dimensional (3D) object printer." This technology allows for the creation of sloping surfaces with angles exceeding 45 degrees, ensuring that the mass of the sloped structure is distributed effectively to avoid defects.
Career Highlights
Dapiran is currently employed at Xerox Corporation, where he continues to push the boundaries of 3D printing technology. His work has not only advanced the capabilities of metal printing but has also contributed to the broader field
