Abstract
An example system includes an object and a support frame supporting the object. The support frame constrains movement of the object relative to the support frame, and the support frame includes at least one of a cage or a shackle to non-rigidly constrain movement of at least a part of the object.
Claims17
A system, comprising:
- an object;
- and
- a support frame supporting the object,
- wherein the support frame constrains movement of the object relative to the support frame,
- wherein the support frame includes a cage to non-rigidly constrain movement of at least a part of the object,
- wherein the support frame fully encloses the object and includes a solid cushioning portion and a rigid support portion,
- wherein the solid cushioning portion comprises a sub-frame, and
- wherein the object and the support frame are printed from a common material in a three-dimensional (3D) printing process.
5 more elements
A method, comprising:
- printing a three-dimensional (3D) printed object;
- and
- printing a 3D-printed support frame non-rigidly supporting the object, the 3D-printed support frame constraining movement of the 3D-printed object relative to the 3D-printed support frame,
- wherein the 3D-printed support frame includes a cage to non-rigidly constrain movement of at least a part of the 3D-printed object,
- wherein the 3D-printed support frame fully encloses the 3D-printed object and includes a solid cushioning portion and a rigid support portion, wherein the solid cushioining portion comprises a sub-frame, and
- wherein the 3D-printed object and the 3D-printed support frame are printed from a common material in a 3D-printing process.
3 more elements
A system, comprising:
- at least two three-dimensional (3D)-printed objects;
- a 3D-printed frame, comprising:
- at least two sub-frames, each sub-frame non-rigidly supporting a corresponding object of the at least two 3D-printed objects;
- and
- connecting members, each connecting member connecting one of the at least two sub-frames to another of the at least two sub-frames,
- wherein each sub-frame constrains movement of the corresponding object relative to the sub-frame,
- wherein the 3D-printed frame constrains movement of the at least two three-dimensional 3D-printed objects relative to the 3D-printed frame,
- wherein the 3D-printed frame includes a cage to non-rigidly constrain movement of at least a part of the at least two three-dimensional 3D-printed objects,
- wherein the 3D-printed frame fully encloses the at least two three-dimensional 3D-printed objects and includes a solid cushioning portion and a rigid support portion,
- wherein the solid cushioning portion comprises the at least two sub-frames, and
- wherein the at least two three-dimensional 3D-printed objects and the 3D-printed frame are printed from a common material in a three-dimensional (3D) printing process.
