A method of 3D printing an item, wherein a spray material comprising a powder entrained in an oxygen comprising carrier gas is emitted from a spray nozzle. The nozzlecomprises a constricted throatthat has a thermal conductivity of at least 10 W/mk and a hardness of at least 10 Rockwell C (HRC). The temperature of the throat does not exceed 250° C., and preferably does not exceed 200° C.

Method of 3D printing

A method for forming a 3D object, comprising running control means with reference to data which defines 3D shape parameters of an object such that the control means: •uses the data to control an applicator to spray material at a substrate to build the object out of progressively applied layers, wherein at least some of the layers have an initial inwardly tapered outer edge; and •for at least some such layers causing the control means to use the data to move the applicator to apply spray material to fill in the taper.

Method of forming 3D objects

The invention relates to a 3D printer. The 3D printer includes a first feeder containing a metallic powder first print material, a second feeder containing a metallic powder second print material, delivery means that sprays the print materials, a holder holding a substrate, and a controller. As the print materials are sprayed from the delivery means the controller, which is computerized, adjusts the relative disposition of the delivery means and substrate, and the controller controls the first and second feeders to each feed their print material to the delivery means, so that the print materials form a 3D article on the substrate wherein different parts of the 3D article have different characteristics due to the different print materials or proportions thereof being used for different portions of the 3D article.

Apparatus for forming a 3D object from powder, comprising: a) delivery means adapted to emit a flow of powder at sufficiently high velocity to enable it to form the 3D object; b) positioning means adapted adjust the position of the delivery means; and c) control means adapted to control: i) movement of the positioning means; and ii) the velocity of the flow of powder.

Apparatus and a method for forming 3D objects

The invention relates to a method of forming a 3-dimensional solid object, comprising the steps:

Method of spray forming an object

An apparatus for producing a three-dimensional object by spray deposition including a powder conveyance line A arranged to channel a flow of spray material entrained in a carrier gas to a nozzle (a first flow). The apparatus also has a process line B arranged to channel a flow of gas to the nozzle (a second flow). The apparatus also has a spray nozzle. The apparatus is such that pressure and temperature parameters of the first flow are controlled in real time, but for the second flow these parameters are not controlled in real time. The two flows merge to cause spray material to be propelled from the nozzle to a substrate to create a three-dimensional object.

Apparatus for spray deposition

A method of 3D printing an item, includes printing part of the item in three dimensions on a substrate, reorienting the part with respect to holding means that holds the part or substrate, and printing a further part of the item in three dimensions on the first mentioned part.

An apparatus for forming 3D objects from metallic powder, includes a delivery mechanism adapted to emit a flow of metallic powder at sufficiently high velocity to enable it to form a solid mass on a substrate; and a positioning mechanism adapted to set or adjust the distance and/or angle between the delivery mechanism and the substrate as powder builds up on the substrate. A control system is adapted to receive measured geometry data representing the state of the object as it builds and to control adjustment of the positioning means in response to that data for accurate formation of the object.

Apparatus for forming 3D objects
