Stratasys had five patents in future of work during Q2 2024. Stratasys Ltd’s patent involves querying the hardware and software properties of a 3D printer to select suitable printable models or determine if a new machine-ready model needs to be created. The printer responds with a dictionary of capabilities or properties, which is used to match with the metadata of the printable model to ensure successful fabrication.

Application: Detection and use of printer configuration information (Patent ID: US20240143852A1)
The patent filed by Stratasys Ltd. describes a method for determining the properties of a 3D printer and using this information to select suitable printable models for fabrication. The method involves querying the printer for configuration information, receiving a dictionary of properties that affect fabrication capabilities, creating a fabrication profile based on these properties, and generating a machine-ready representation of the digital object model that can be executed by the printer. This process ensures that the model can be fabricated by the printer by comparing the metadata of the model to the printer properties.
The method includes querying the printer directly or through cloud-based services or print servers, receiving the dictionary of properties, and slicing the digital object representation into layers for fabrication. The properties considered include hardware configurations such as extruder type, build volume, speed of movement, and build material type. The method also involves selecting stored machine-ready models based on the fabrication profile, modifying existing models if necessary, and generating new machine-ready representations if suitable models are not available. Additionally, descriptive metadata is generated to accompany the machine-ready representation, specifying properties for comparison with selected printers for fabrication. This method streamlines the process of selecting and preparing models for 3D printing based on the specific capabilities of the printer.
