Three-dimensional additive manufactured product and three-dimensional additive manufacturing method
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.
Superhard constructions and methods of making same
A polycrystalline super hard construction comprises a body of polycrystalline super hard material and a substrate bonded to the body along an interface. The substrate a first end surface forming the interface, the first end surface comprising a projection extending from the body of the substrate into the body of super hard material towards the cutting face, the body of polycrystalline material extending around the projection. The body of polycrystalline material comprises a first region more thermally stable than a second region, the first region comprising an annular portion located around the projection, the second region extending between and bonding the first region to the substrate. The first region has a thickness from the cutting face along the peripheral side edge to the interface of at least around 3 mm and a portion of the projection has a thickness measured in a plane extending along the longitudinal axis of at least around 3 mm.

Three-dimensional-printed vessel for wettability assessment of fracturing proppants
Systems, methods, and apparatus for a three-dimensional (3D)-printed vessel for wettability assessment of fracturing proppants are disclosed. The vessel includes a base component including a threaded cylindrical portion extending outward from a first side of the base component. The cylindrical portion has a particular thread profile. The base component defines a cavity sized to contain a proppant sample. A cap is configured to be screwed onto the threaded cylindrical portion after the proppant sample is injected into the cavity. A surface of the cap is shaped to flatten a proppant surface of the proppant sample. The cap is threaded with the particular thread profile. A pin is configured to be partially screwed onto a second side of the base component before the proppant sample is injected into the cavity. The second side is opposite to the first side. Other embodiments may be described or claimed.

GEOTHERMAL HEAT EXCHANGER
A one-piece, unitarily formed compact geothermal heat exchanger comprises a one-piece body having an external screw-type configuration including a cutting tip and a spiral thread extending from the cutting tip upwards towards the top of the body of the heat exchanger. The top face of the body includes a working fluid inlet and a working fluid outlet, each of which are in communication with an internal continuous helical channel inside of the one-piece body through which the working fluid travels during operation to transfer heat energy between the working fluid and the ground. A compact geothermal heat exchanger having such configuration may be installed by screwing the heat exchanger into the ground to the desired depth, without requiring prior digging or other excavation of the ground surface. The compact geothermal heat exchanger may then be connected to a conventional geothermal heating and cooling system for geothermal heating and/or cooling of a space, such as the interior of a building. The compact geothermal heat exchange may also be connected in series to provide expanded capacity for customized cooling/heating needs and cost consideration.
