  • Each slice also includes registration holes, which will be used to orient each printed layer of substrate within the finished object exactly (International
  • the output of the slicer which for example may be a bitmap file, is sent to an inkjet printer (Step 106).
  • the printer selectively prints a fluid onto a sheet of substrate material (Step 108) (International Publication No. WO 2014/134224 A2, T
  • the fluid may either be the bonding agent itself in liquid form; or it may be a liquid to which a powdered bonding agent adheres.
  • Substrates can include fiberglass, high temperature glass fibers, boron fibers, or carbon fibers.
  • powdered bonding agent If powdered bonding agent is being used, it is flooded onto the printed substrate (International Publication No. WO 2014/134224 A2, 1J0059). The powder adheres to the printed areas. Excess powder is removed, either by a stream of air, vacuum, vibration, or other mechanical means.
  • the coated sheets of substrate are stacked in press or clamp (Step 110) (International Publication No. WO 2014/134224 A2, 1J00124), using the registration holes of each layer to align the printed portions of each sheet within the stack (International Publication No. WO 2014/134224 A2, ⁇ 00106). 5.
  • the assembled sheets are then heated and possibly compressed in an oven, to melt the bonding material and fusing the layers of substrate to form the 3D object (Step 112) (International Publication No. WO 2014/134224 A2, ⁇ 00149).
  • Step 114 The unfused substrate around the 3D object is then removed (Step 114), usually by abrasive blasting material or chemical means (International Publication No. WO 2014/134224 A2, 1J0081).
  • the substrate used is a non-woven carbon fiber veil such as available from Hollingsworth and Vose. Veils that have been metal coated can also be used.
  • the veil or substrate is printed as described above on an inkjet printer using, for example, a HP45 thermal inkjet head with a solution primarily of de-ionized water, pyrrolidone and alcohol.
  • the solution may have an anti-evaporant including glycols and pyrrolidones.
  • This fluid is printed on the area of the substrate that would be part of the object, i.e., the printed area corresponds to a layer shape for the object . This is done for each layer as described in the previous applications.
  • Each layer is flooded with a metal powder for example a solder powder.

  • a metal powder for example a solder powder.
  • the excess powder is removed by mechanical, vacuum, vibration or compressed air or a combination of such methods. This leaves the solder powder selectively deposited.
  • One of the problems with using a metal powder in a process of this kind is that the powder oxidizes so that that when heated to its melting point the particles of the powder will not fuse together well.
  • a powder flux such as rosin which acts as a reducing agent.
  • a typical flux to metal powder ratio is about 50/50.
  • Another method is to melt the powders in a reducing, vacuum and/or inert atmosphere oven. In this way other metals or alloys can be used, such as aluminum, steel, stainless steel, copper, brass, and titanium among others.
  • liquid flux may be used as or in combination with the
  • the metal powder can be mixed with a powder flux before it is deposited on the substrate. Then all the layers of the object are printed and stacked in register as described in the earlier applications. They are compressed and heated as described in the earlier applications. The heating temperature is raised to the melting point of the powder. The layers fuse together and produce a build block. After the build block is removed from the compression jig the build block is abrasively blasted and the areas where no powder adhered, that is the portions of the object that were not coated with metal, are abrasive blasted off, the uncoated carbon fiber being very fragile. What is left is a three dimensional carbon fiber metal composite of the part that was represented by the CAD model.

  • Registration guide pins 501 are inserted through a substrate layer 503 in order to properly align the substrate layer 503.
  • a solenoid valve, or inkjet head or heads 505 are used to selectively dispense liquid from a liquid reservoir 507 though a nozzle 509 unto the substrate layer 503.
  • the nozzle 509 is rastered in a 2D plane 510 that is parallel to, and above, the substrate layer 503, so that the liquid is selectively deposited at desired x, y coordinates of the substrate layer 503, and not deposited in other areas of the substrate layer 503.
  • a stepper motor 511 actuates two belts (not shown) that causes a support member (not shown) to move along two rails (not shown) in a direction parallel to the x axis.
  • a second stepper motor (not shown) and third belt (not shown) are mounted on the support member, and are used to move a nozzle support (not shown) in a direction parallel to the y axis.
  • the nozzle 509 is attached to the nozzle support. Together, the two stepper motors can move the nozzle 509 to any desired x, y coordinate above the substrate layer.
  • a page wide head may also be used.
  • a microprocessor 513 controls the stepper motors and the solenoid valve or inkjet head, thereby controlling when and where liquid is dispensed on the substrate layer 503.
  • the stepper motors may cause the nozzle or nozzles 509 to move in other 2D patterns in the 2D plane to cause the liquid to be deposited at certain x, y coordinates.
  • FIG. 2 does not show an apparatus for heating and pressing multiple layers of substrate, or for removing excess substrate. In some implementations, the substrate layer is moved to a different position before those steps occur.

  • this second processor controls the operation, including movements, of: (1) an inkjet head or other device that selectively deposits liquid, (2) a vibrating trough (and/or compressed air) that spreads out the powder on the substrate and then removes the excess powder.
