METHOD OF BUILDING OBJECTS WITHIN A GREEN COMPACT OF POWDER MATERIAL BY ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING

Abstract:

A method to define construction of a green compact with at least one object embedded therein is disclosed. The method includes receiving three-dimensional data defining the at least one object and identifying a planar surface in the at least one object based on the three-dimensional data. Orientation of the at least one object is defined so that the planar surface extends at least partially over a Z height of the green compact. A mask pattern is defined per layer to form the at least one object in the defined orientation by an additive manufacturing process with powder material.
