Stratasys had six patents in future of work during Q1 2024. Stratasys Ltd has developed a method for three-dimensional fabrication that compensates for post-formation shrinkage by adjusting layer thickness. Another method involves generating print images for additive manufacturing by segmenting a part model, assigning dimensional tolerances, and defining exposure shells with varying energies based on the width of the tolerance.

Application: Method and system for three-dimensional fabrication (Patent ID: US20240043106A1)
The patent filed by Stratasys Ltd. discloses a method for three-dimensional fabrication of objects by forming layers in a configured pattern corresponding to the object's shape. The method involves compensating for post-formation shrinkage of the layers along a vertical direction by adjusting the thickness of each layer. This compensation can be achieved by lowering the tray by different step sizes for different layers or forming each layer from compensated slice data assuming layers of different thickness.
Additionally, the patent claims a system for three-dimensional fabrication of objects, including a fabrication apparatus and a controller designed to ensure that at least one layer is formed at a predetermined thickness to compensate for post-formation shrinkage. The system allows for the selection of layer thicknesses based on the vertical position of the layer in the object, with the tray being lowered by different step sizes or a constant step size for different layers. The method and system aim to maintain a predetermined thickness and planar resolution for each layer, ultimately resulting in consistent final object quality.
