Title: Method for generating and dispensing a powdered release agent

Abstract

A method for generating and dispensing a powdered release agent during an additive manufacturing build is disclosed. A solid body of release agent material is ground insitu by a grinder and dispensed on a surface of the part to prevent adhesion of an adjacent layer of a base material. With the addition of the powdered release agent, a support structure is easily separated from the base material when the part is complete, saving time and preventing the part from sustaining unintentional damage. Since no powdered release agent is actually loaded or stored in the apparatus, the potential for spillage, waste, inconsistent dispensing, inadvertent dispensing, and clumping due to humidity is eliminated.

Method and apparatus for producing drops using a drop-on-demand dispenser

Patent Chen, Alvin U.; Basaran, Osman A.

A method and apparatus for dispensing fluid from a drop-on-demand (DOD) fluid dispenser. The method involves withdrawing fluid in the dispenser for a first duration of time, followed by a second duration of time during which the fluid is propelled toward the orifice of the dispenser. Following the period during which the fluid is propelled, there is a second withdrawing of the fluid into the dispenser. The duration of the propelling period is shorter than the duration of either the first withdrawing or the second withdrawing. The propelling of the fluid results in the extension of a small tongue ofmore » « less
