Tethon 3D Files 3D Printer Patent
The U.S. utility patent incorporates compression into a powder/binder-jet 3D printer. Improved strength of 3D printed ceramics is achieved and may be applicable to other powder materials.
Omaha, NE December 11, 2015 -- Tethon Corporation Inc. ("Tethon 3D") announced the filing of a U.S. utility patent application describing a 3D printer design. The printer patent relates to technology that incorporates compression into a powder/binder-jet 3D printer.
"We consider this new IP a significant advancement in the field of ceramic additive manufacturing. Our studies show increased strength of 3D printed ceramics that have never before been achieved in ceramic 3D printing," says Karen Linder, President and CEO of Tethon 3D. "The act of compression is essential for producing strong porcelain, stoneware and earthenware 3D printed objects and this printer design could possibly also improve the production of objects printed in other powder materials."
The company has built a prototype 3D printer based on this IP and is evaluating potential engineering partners to bring the technology to market.
