Geometrical compensation method for additive manufacturing apparatus
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US12013683B2) discloses a method for additive manufacturing that involves receiving object model data representing an object to be generated, determining a geometrical compensation vector for the object model data, and generating modified object model data. The method includes applying geometrical compensation to planar faces of the object and causing the additive manufacturing apparatus to generate the object based on the modified data. The components of the geometrical compensation vector specify offsets for orthogonal axes, allowing for precise adjustments during the manufacturing process.
Furthermore, the patent describes a system comprising a processor and memory storing program code for processing object model data for additive manufacturing. The system determines geometrical compensation, applies it to planar faces, and generates modified object model data for the additive manufacturing apparatus to create the object. The system also includes features such as selecting compensation vectors based on object generation locations and specifying print agent amounts for each location on a layer of build material. This innovative method and system aim to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of additive manufacturing processes, offering potential benefits for industries utilizing this technology.
