APPARATUS, SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ULTRASONIC-BASED ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING
An apparatus, system and method of using ultrasonic energy for additive manufacturing. The apparatus, system and method may include comprising: a print bed of print material responsive to ultrasonic energy; and an ultrasonic print head suitable to deliver the ultrasonic energy to the print bed to thereby form the print material into a printed output according to a print plan that exerts control over the ultrasonic print head.
1 . An apparatus for additive manufacturing printing, comprising:
a print bed of print material responsive to ultrasonic energy; and
an ultrasonic print head suitable to deliver the ultrasonic energy to the print bed as a sole energy source to form in-layer patterns of the print material into a printed output according to a print plan that exerts control over the ultrasonic print head.
2 . An apparatus for additive manufacturing printing, comprising:
a print bed of print material responsive to ultrasonic energy; and
an ultrasonic print head suitable to tunably deliver the ultrasonic energy to the print bed, based on type characteristics of the print material, to thereby form in-layer patterns of the print material into a printed output according to a print plan that exerts control over the ultrasonic print head.
