Title: Romain Dubreuil and Additive Manufacturing

Introduction

Romain Dubreuil is an inventor based in Prangins, Switzerland. His patent work includes an additive manufacturing method designed to support the accurate positioning of parts during post-processing. He is associated with GF Machining Solutions AG.

Latest Patents

Dubreuil is credited with 1 patent, titled “Additive Manufacturing Method for Producing a Part.” The method uses CAD data to define both a part’s geometry and the geometry of a first clamping element. That element is designed in consideration of a second clamping element so it can be secured in place and hold the part in a desired position for post-processing.

The method generates machining data from the CAD geometry and uses additive manufacturing to form the part and first clamping element. The first clamping element has at least two parallel side surfaces, while the second has two vice jaws positioned parallel to each other along its longitudinal direction. This arrangement provides a way to integrate a suitable clamping feature into the manufactured part setup.

Career Highlights

Dubreuil’s listed invention addresses the connection between additive manufacturing and subsequent machining operations. By accounting for clamping requirements during the design and manufacturing process, the method aims to facilitate positioning a part for post-processing.
