Carbon had two patents in future of work during Q4 2023. The patent describes a method for forming a three-dimensional object using a carrier, build plate with a semipermeable member, and polymerizable liquid. The build region is filled with the liquid, irradiated to polymerize it, and then advanced to create subsequent build regions. An apparatus for this method is also detailed.

Application: Method and apparatus for three-dimensional fabrication (Patent ID: US20230373156A9)
The patent filed by Carbon Inc. describes a method for forming a three-dimensional object using a carrier and build plate with a semipermeable member. The process involves filling a build region with a polymerizable liquid, irradiating the region to produce a solid polymerized region while maintaining a liquid film release layer, and advancing the carrier to create subsequent build regions. The apparatus includes a support, carrier, build plate, liquid polymer supply, and radiation source, with the build plate being in fluid communication with a polymerization inhibitor source.
The method and apparatus outlined in the patent involve steps such as providing a carrier and build plate with a semipermeable member, filling the build region with a polymerizable liquid, irradiating the region to form a solid polymerized region, and advancing the carrier to create subsequent build regions. The process allows for the continuous production of a three-dimensional object in a layerless manner, with the build plate being substantially fixed or stationary. Additionally, the patent covers the formation of a microneedle array as a specific example of a three-dimensional object that can be produced using this method.
