Murata Manufacturing had two patents in 3D printing during Q1 2024. The patent filed by Murata Manufacturing Co Ltd in Q1 2024 relates to a method for generating three-dimensional print data that ensures matching of the number of layers and size of slice data. It involves generating three-dimensional interpolation shape data by interpolating shapes on three-dimensional shape data with different materials. This interpolation shape defines an outline in slice data and is continuous from the bottom to the top of the three-dimensional shape. The method further involves slicing the shapes to generate interpolation slice data and then generating slice data by retaining outline information.

Application: Three-dimensional print data generation method, and manufacturing method for three-dimensional fabricated product (Patent ID: US20240059018A1)
The patent filed by Murata Manufacturing Co Ltd. describes a method for generating three-dimensional print data that matches the number of layers and size of slice data. The method involves interpolating a three-dimensional interpolation shape on three-dimensional shape data composed of different materials, defining an outline in slice data. This interpolation shape is continuous from the bottom to the top of the three-dimensional shape and is then sliced to generate interpolation slice data. The final step involves deleting the interpolation shape to retain outline information and generate slice data.
The claims associated with the patent detail the specific aspects of the method, such as the shape of the interpolation shape (frame or column), the relationship between inner and outer peripheries, and the type of three-dimensional printing methods the data can be used for. Additionally, the patent outlines the application of the method in manufacturing three-dimensional shaped articles through three-dimensional printing. The method aims to optimize the generation of print data for accurate and efficient three-dimensional printing processes, ensuring the quality and integrity of the final product.
