An additive manufacturing method and machine for an object using at least one powder, capable of limiting risks of dissemination of the powder. The method including the following steps in succession: manufacture a solid block starting from the powder and a sublimatable material, load the solid block in a loading space of the machine; sublimate the material present in the solid block and recover the powder; and additive manufacturing of the object by stacking successive layers made using the powder recovered in the previous step.

A heat-sink device intended for at least one electronic component (), includes: a heat-sink; a substrate () for the at least one electronic component (), said substrate covering the heat-sink; and thermal coupling provided between the substrate and the heat-sink and made from a material different from that of the heat-sink. The heat-sink comprises of a set of independent fins (), and the thermal-coupling () is made from a heat-conductive polymer material and also serve as mechanical coupling between the substrate () and the fins ().

The invention first relates to a feedstock for PIM, including a metal or ceramic powder; a polymeric binder; metallic or ceramic fibers or nanofibers, the fibers or nanofibers being metallic when the powder is metallic, and the fibers or nanofibers being ceramic when the powder is ceramic. It also relates to the method for producing such a feedstock, as well as the method for producing parts by means of powder injection molding (PIM) using said feedstock.

A filling device, enabling simultaneous filling with at least two granular materials, without mixing them, includes an inner hopper supplying a first type of material and an outer hopper supplying a second type of material, and a dispenser arranged downstream from the hoppers. The dispenser includes a central passageway arranged directly opposite the inner hopper, and a deflecting mechanism towards the exterior of the dispenser arranged directly opposite the outer hopper. The deflecting mechanism at least partially borders the central passageway. The dispenser is capable of rotating about a longitudinal axis, the direction of which is the mean direction of flow, in which the dispenser includes a central shaft including an upper end opposite the inner hopper forming a deflecting surface for the first type of material coming from the inner hopper.

An assembly including a metal piece, a piece made of ceramic material, and at least one intermediate connection element assembled to each of the pieces by brazing. The intermediate connection element includes a deformable sheet presenting at least two flat zones brazed to respective ones of the pieces, the two flat zones being interconnected by a deformable zone presenting at least two free undulations oriented in alternation towards the metal piece and towards the piece made of ceramic material.

Brazed joint between a metal part and a ceramic part

A device for distributing granular materials in a recipient, particularly of complex shape intended to be arranged between a feed hopper and the recipient to be filled. The device includes a deflector, mobile in rotation around an axis, lining a passage linking the hopper to the recipient. The deflector is formed by at least one surface that may be inclined in relation to the axis of rotation approaching the axis in the direction of flow of the granules, or perpendicular to the axis. According to the speed of rotation, a certain quantity of granules is ejected by the deflector and another part passes directly in the passage.

A device for filling a recipient with at least one material in a form of a powder, the device including: a filling channel configured to bring the material from a reserve of material to an entry opening of the recipient; and a pump that evacuates a pneumatic fluid contained in the recipient through at least one first evacuation duct and a second evacuation duct, wherein the at least one first evacuation duct is configured to connect an inside of the recipient to an environment outside of the recipient during a filling phase, the first evacuation duct being internal to the filling channel, and the second evacuation duct is configured to evacuate the pneumatic fluid before filling.

Device for filling a container with at least one type of powder material

The invention relates to a method for preparing a feedstock for injection moulding or for extrusion, consisting of inorganic powders combined with an organic, particularly polymeric binder. This method is characterized in that the constituent particles of the inorganic powders are subjected to a granulation step, prior to their mixing with the polymeric binder.
