FIXED BED LARGE SCALE ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING USING FOIL-BASED BUILD MATERIALS

摘要

The present disclosure generally relates to methods and apparatuses for additive manufacturing using foil-based build materials. Such methods and apparatuses eliminate several drawbacks of conventional powder-based methods, including powder handling, recoater jams, and health risks. In addition, the present disclosure provides methods and apparatuses for compensation of in-process warping of build plates and foil-based build materials.
