Obvious 3D printer technology based on 38. Use strong oxidisers: Difference between revisions

Broad and/or obvious patent claims for 3-D printing technology may hamper the open-source 3-D printing community's ability to innovate. Previous work on an algorithm protected 3-D printing materials. This page is part of a MTU Open Source 3-D Printing class project to investigate 3-D printing concepts using TRIZ and is presented here as a defensive publication of prior art to help identify obvious 'inventions' for 3-D printing.

Examiners: The ideas on this page dated Dec 3, 2015 and Nov 29, 2016 were developed by university students with less than a semester of formal 3-D printing experience (or by an instructor in class) and thus should be considered unpatentable because of obviousness to any person skilled in the art of additive manufacturing.
Appropedians: This page is open edit. Please fee free to add ideas and sign them below with ~~~~ or to use any of the ideas to built better open-source 3-D printers.

1. Controlled atmosphere to promote deposited layer growth JLaureto (talk) 07:37, 1 December 2016 (PST)
2. Increased temperature increases oxidation rate. Assuming the environment was oxygen rich to begin with JLaureto (talk) 07:38, 1 December 2016 (PST)
3. Oxygen is readily available. Any material, mostly metallic some polymer, could by applied to the printing system.JLaureto (talk) 07:42, 1 December 2016 (PST)
4. Potentially eliminate bolts and "oxidize" parts together?JLaureto (talk) 07:42, 1 December 2016 (PST)
5. Similar to above reducing fixturing hardware would reduce overall costJLaureto (talk) 07:42, 1 December 2016 (PST)
6. Something??
7. Promote oxidation of build plate to a uniform surfaceJLaureto (talk) 07:46, 1 December 2016 (PST)
8. Temporarily fixture components together and introduce driving for for oxidation to bond everything together. JLaureto (talk) 07:46, 1 December 2016 (PST)
