Abstract
The disclosed embodiments include a system for generating a unitary structure with a three-dimensional (3D) printing process. The unitary structure includes a cavity configured to contain a fluid and a passageway configured to route the fluid to or from the cavity.
Claims20
A three-dimensional (3D) printed structure comprising:
- a unitary structure including:
- a cavity configured to contain a fluid;
- and
- a passageway configured to route the fluid to or from the cavity.
1 more element
A system comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- memory containing computer instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause dimensional (3D) printer to:
- print a unitary structure in accordance with an additive manufacturing process, the unitary structure including a network of cavities interconnected by passageways configured to route fluid, any surfaces of the unitary structure being impermeable to the fluid.
1 more element
A process comprising:
- processing computer instructions that control a printing process causing a three-dimensional (3D) printer to print a unitary structure that is impermeable to a fluid;
- and
- printing, based on the computer instructions, the unitary structure in accordance with an additive manufacturing process to include a network of passageways configured to route the fluid.
