Embodiments are directed to nozzles for three-dimensional printing and related assemblies and methods. An example method includes, on a first side of a material, forming a hole into the material to define an at least partially conical inner conduit extending at least partially through the material, and, on a second side of the material, forming a through-hole into the material to define an exit orifice of the nozzle, the exit orifice connecting with the at least partially conical inner conduit to define a fluid pathway through the nozzle.

A mobile 3D printing device, system and method based on the addition of material intended to be attached to a lifting device with a single lifting cable or chain, including a printing head adapted to receive material and depositing it; fixing means adapted to link the printing head to the lifting device, and stabilization means adapted to stabilize the position of the printing head by a gyroscopic effect. The printing device enables the control of the printing of a structure to be printed, in particular the position of the printing head, to reduce the labor costs and the time to install such a device on a standard crane provided with a hook.

A method for the application of hydrous mineral binder compositions which contain fibres. An aqueous accelerator is mixed with the aqueous binder composition in a mixer shortly before the application. The method is very robust and makes it possible to quickly produce even large moulded bodies having a uniform surface and very good strength development properties.

An example technique includes extruding, by a tow deposition device, on a tow-by-tow basis, respective impregnated tows of a plurality of respective impregnated tows to form a layer of material on a major surface of a substrate. Each respective impregnated tow includes at least one ceramic fiber and a curable resin coating the at least one ceramic fiber. The example technique includes curing the curable resin to form a cured composite component. An example system includes a tow deposition device, an energy source, and a computing device. The computing device is configured to control the tow deposition device to extrude, on a tow-by-tow basis, respective impregnated tows of a plurality of respective impregnated tows to form a layer of material, and is configured to control the energy source to cure the curable resin to form a cured composite component.

An additive manufacturing system including a two-dimensional energy patterning system for imaging a powder bed is disclosed. The two-dimensional energy patterning system may be used to control the rate of cooling experienced by each successive additive layer. Accordingly, the system may be used to heat treat the various additive layers.

Devices, systems, and methods are directed to binder jetting for forming three-dimensional parts having controlled, macroscopically inhomogeneous material composition. In general, a binder may be delivered to each layer of a plurality of layers of a powder of inorganic particles. An active component may be introduced, in a spatially controlled distribution, to at least one of the plurality of layers such that the binder, the powder of inorganic particles, and the active component, in combination, form an object. The object may be thermally processed into a three-dimensional part having a gradient of one or more physicochemical properties of a material at least partially formed from thermally processing the inorganic particles and the active component of the object.

A three-dimensional additive manufactured product includes a body portion and a male screw portion integrally disposed on a surface of the body portion so as to protrude therefrom. The male screw portion includes a following side flank forming a first flank angle with respect to a vertical plane to an axis thereof. The first flank angle is not less than 45 degrees.

A component, in particular a stator or a rotor, of an electric motor, in which a layer structure is generated is produced using additive manufacturing, by: forming, via alternate additive production, a layer assembly having first layers and second layers each first layer including a filament containing plastic and metal, and each second layer including a filament containing plastic and ceramic; heating the layer assembly a first temperature, at which the plastic is removed from the layers; further heating the layer assembly (2) to a second temperature, whereby the metal of the layer is sintered and an electrically insulating ceramic layer is obtained from the layer.

A superhard material-containing object is configured to have a controlled and repeatable three-dimensional geometry and/or shape. The object further includes a desired three-dimensional spatial variation in microstructure, grain size and/or composition. The superhard material is selected from the group consisting of diamond, boron-doped diamond and cubic boron nitride. A process for production of a superhard material-containing object from a powder of a superhard material, a binder and an optional additive, includes the steps of: (a) producing a feedstock of the superhard material and a polymer binder; (b) extruding one or more filaments from a granulated superhard material-binder feedstock; (c) preparing a printed superhard material-containing object using the one or more filaments; (d) subjecting the printed object to debinding to prepare a debindered object; and (e) sintering the debindered printed object to produce the superhard material-containing object.

Methods and apparatuses for additive manufacturing are described. A method for additive manufacturing may include exposing a layer of material on a build surface to one or more projections of laser energy including at least one line laser having a substantially linear shape. The intensity of the line laser may be modulated so as to cause fusion of the layer of material according to a desired pattern as the one or more projections of laser energy are scanned across the build surface.
