Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an automated infiltrant transfer apparatus and method, in particular to an automated powdered infiltrant transfer apparatus and method for three dimensional printed articles. [0004] 2. Background Information
  • Three-dimensional printing is a subdivision of the rapid prototyping technology that was developed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) at for the rapid and flexible production of prototype parts, end-use parts, and tools directly from a CAD model.
  • Three Dimensional Printing, or 3D Printing has unprecedented flexibility. It can create parts of any geometry, and out of any material, including ceramics, metals, polymers and composites. Furthermore, it can exercise local control over the material composition, microstructure, and surface texture. 3D printers are generally faster, more affordable and easier to use than other rapid prototyping technologies. This technology is marketed commercially by ExOne Company.
  • Three Dimensional Printing functions by building parts in layers.
  • a slicing algorithm draws detailed information for every layer.
  • Each layer begins with a thin distribution of powder spread over the surface of a powder bed, such as gold powder for dental copings.
  • a binder material selectively joins particles where the object is to be formed.
  • a piston that supports the powder bed and the part-in-progress lowers so that the next powder layer can be spread and selectively joined.
  • This layer-by-layer process repeats until the part is completed.
  • unbound powder is removed, leaving the (semi) fabricated part, also called a green part within this application.
  • the sequence of operations is depicted in figure 1 .
  • the Three Dimensional Printing process combines powders and binders with unprecedented geometric flexibility.
  • the support gained from the powder bed means that overhangs, undercuts and internal volumes can be created (as long as there is a hole for the loose powder to escape).
  • Three Dimensional Printing can form any material that can be obtained as a powder - which is just about any material. Further, because different materials can be dispensed by different print heads, 3D Printing can exercise control over local material composition. Material can be in a liquid carrier, or it can be applied as molten matter. The proper placement of droplets can be used to create surfaces of controlled texture and to control the internal microstructure of the printed part.
  • Three Dimensional Printing process surpasses conventional powder processing because while the Three Dimensional Printing components rival the performance of those made by conventional methods, there are no tooling or geometric limitations with Three Dimensional Printing. Because of its great flexibility in handling a wide range of materials and because of the unique ability to locally tailor the material composition, Three Dimensional Printing offers potential for the direct manufacture of structural components with unique microstructures and capabilities. Three Dimensional Printing is also readily scaled in production rate through the use of multiple nozzle technology which has been commercially developed for printing images on paper.
  • the three dimensional printed article is generally a porous or low density structure and it may thereafter be infiltrated with a suitable infiltrant, such as a polymer, or a metal having a liquidus temperature lower than that of the three dimensional printed article which can be moved into.
  • a suitable infiltrant such as a polymer, or a metal having a liquidus temperature lower than that of the three dimensional printed article which can be moved into.
  • the porous article that is infiltrated with another material, such as a lower melting temperature metal, will give a fully dense article with desirable properties.
  • U.S. Patent 6,655,481 describes the preparation of a drill bit body by Three Dimensional Printing wherein "particulate material is dispersed into a layer, and the particles in selected areas of the layer affixed to one another by a polymeric adhesive or nonpolymeric binder (e.g., water- glass). Due to the selective deposition of binder over the layer of particulate material in order to define a desired solid structure, this type of layered- manufacturing is typically referred to as " 3D-Printing" '. The bit body may then be placed in a furnace where it may be preheated to substantially remove the bonding agent.
  • a polymeric adhesive or nonpolymeric binder e.g., water- glass
  • certain metal powders may be at least preliminarily sintered or fused, such sintering to be enhanced or completed, if necessary, in a later furnacing operation.
  • a powdered metal coated with bonding agent or metal intermixed with bonding agent is employed as the particulate material as mentioned above, the resulting bit body is a porous and permeable metal mass akin to a sponge or an open-celled foam, which can be imbibed with suitable hardenable infiltrants, either metallic, nonmetallic, or a combination thereof, to complete the bit body.
  • the bit may be mass infiltrated via capillary action, gravity, and/or pressurized flow at room temperature. If an infiltrant that is solid at room temperature is employed, the bit may be mass infiltrated by capillary action, gravity, and/or pressurized flow while the infiltrant is heated, such as by a furnace or an induction coil.”
  • Dental copings are structures, typically metal, that fit onto the patients prepared tooth that can form the basis for a bridge or similar dental structure.
  • 3D printed porous coping also called a green coping
  • infiltrant powder typically gold alloy
  • target weight of infiltrant (This value is calculated based upon the specifics of the 3D printed green coping and the properties of the infiltrant.)
  • the folded paper carrier may be used to spread and compact the infiltrant within the green coping.
  • One embodiment of the present invention provides a method for transferring infiltrant to a 3D printed article comprising the steps of (i) calculating the amount of infiltrant based in part upon the particulars of the 3D printed articles; (ii) dispensing the calculated amount of infiltrant to a scale from an infiltrant dispenser through a controller; (iii) weighing the dispensed infiltrant during the dispensing; (iv) providing the controller with a signal of the weighed dispensed infiltrant; and (v) automatically stopping the infiltrant dispenser through the controller as the weighed infiltrant reaches the calculated amount of infiltrant.
  • an apparatus for transferring infiltrant to an article comprising: (i) a controller for controlling the system for dispensing a calculating amount of infiltrant which is calculated based in part upon the particulars of the article; (ii) an infiltrant dispenser coupled to the controller for dispensing the calculated amount of infiltrant based upon input from the controller; and (iii) a scale weighing the dispensed infiltrant during the dispensing and configured to provide the controller with a signal of the weighed dispensed infiltrant, wherein the controller is configured to automatically stop the infiltrant dispenser as the weighed infiltrant reaches the calculated amount of infiltrant.
  • Another aspect of the present invention provides a method for transferring powdered infiltrant to a 3D printed article comprising the steps of (i) supplying powdered infiltrant to a vibratory trough with a dispensing orifice and a sealing member selectively sealing the orifice that configured for oscillating motion into and out of engagement with the dispensing orifice with the vibration of the trough; (ii) vibrating the trough to cause dispensing of infiltrant from the infiltrant dispenser; and (iii) weighing the dispensed infiltrant during the dispensing.

  • the controller 14 may include a display, and other user controls as necessary for operator interaction and control of the system 10.
  • An infiltrant dispenser 16 is provided with a dispensing mechanism 18 coupled to the controller 14.
  • the dispenser 16 may be a gravity feed hopper (as schematically shown), a vibratory feeder tray, a fluid holding tank (where the infiltrant is liquid), a conveying or extrusion tube, or other known article handling dispensers.

  • the mechanism may be an extrusion screw, a metering piston/plunger, or controls for a vibratory feeder, or other conventional metering dispenser controls that are known in the art.
  • the operation of the mechanism 18 and hence the control of the dispenser 16 is controlled by the controller 14.
  • the present invention operates effectively with any known infiltrant, however it is particularly well suited for powdered metal infiltrants such as gold powder having particle sizes less than 150 microns.
  • the dispenser 16 is configured to dispense directly into a 3D printed article 24 positioned within a carrier 22 that is supported upon a scale 20.
