LAYER-BY-LAYER SOLVENT EVAPORATION
In one example in accordance with the present disclosure, an additive manufacturing system is described. The additive manufacturing system includes a build material distributor to deposit metal powder build material and an agent distribution system to selectively deposit a binding agent on the metal powder build material in a pattern of a layer of a three-dimensional (3D) object to be printed. The additive manufacturing system also includes an ultraviolet (UV) energy source. The UV energy source, in a layer-by-layer fashion 1) cures the binding agent to join together metal powder build material with binding agent disposed thereon and 2) evaporates a solvent of the binding agent.

Interchangeable chamber for a device and a method for generatively producing a three-dimensional object
An interchangeable chamber is provided for a 3D printing device, wherein the interchangeable chamber includes a building space for receiving a building platform on which a three-dimensional object can be produced, which building space is designed to be temporarily open in the direction of a top of the interchangeable chamber, as well as optionally a storage container for storing building material and wherein the interchangeable chamber comprises a side wall and a cover, wherein the cover is adapted to close the interchangeable chamber at the top such that building material cannot get through the cover out of nor into the interchangeable chamber and the cover is coupled with the side wall.
Narrow passage repair using 3D printing
Aspects of this disclosure include a method for repairing a component having narrow passage, a three-dimensional printer, and composition for three-dimensional printing. One embodiment of the method may comprise mixing a filler material for three-dimensional printing with a carrier fluid, and applying a controlled electromagnetic field to bias the filler material towards a repair location in a narrow passage of a component. The method may further comprise coating a ferromagnetic material with the filler material to form a microcapsule, wherein the ferromagnetic material is adapted to interact with the controlled electromagnetic field to attract the microcapsule to the repair location. 3D printing techniques may be used to coat the ferromagnetic core with the filler material.

ARTICLE OF FOOTWEAR HAVING A PLATE
A method of manufacturing a component for a sole structure of an article of footwear includes providing a printer having a platform, a first head that receives a first feed, and a second head that receives a second feed. The method further includes printing a base layer on the platform, with the base layer comprising a substrate material and defining a longitudinal axis. Additionally, the method includes printing a first fiber layer continuously on the base layer, with the first fiber layer defining a first fiber orientation that is disposed at a first angle relative to the longitudinal axis, and printing a second fiber layer continuously on the first fiber layer, the second fiber layer defining a second fiber orientation that is disposed at a second angle relative to the longitudinal axis. The first angle is different from the second angle.
