Application: Manufacturing method of three-dimensional fabricated object, and manufacturing device of three-dimensional fabricated object (Patent ID: US20240181708A1)
The patent filed by Konica Minolta Inc. describes a manufacturing method for a three-dimensional fabricated object using additive manufacturing technology. The method involves detecting real-time data on the physical or chemical characteristics of the object being fabricated. This data can be collected from various surfaces of the object, between layers, or through methods like X-ray interference imaging, chromaticity analysis, dielectric constant measurement, electromagnetic wave reflection or absorption intensity, and monitoring chemical reactions within the material.
Additionally, the patent includes a provision for executing additional processes or adjusting fabrication conditions based on the data collected during the detection process. The manufacturing device described in the patent comprises a detector that can gather in situ data on the physical or chemical characteristics of the object under fabrication. This innovative approach allows for real-time monitoring and control of the manufacturing process, enabling adjustments to be made promptly to ensure the quality and integrity of the final three-dimensional fabricated object.
