Systems for forming densified structures through sintering and associated methods

A system for forming a densified structure, the system comprising:

• a processor;
• a memory device storing historical data representative of preform structures and densified structures;
• and
• non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions thereon that, when executed by at the processor, cause the processor to perform steps comprising:
• receive parameters of a desired densified structure;
• compare the historical data representative of the preform structures and the densified structures with the parameters of the desired densified structure;
• and
• output parameters of a preform structure.

A method of forming a densified structure comprising:

• receiving parameters of a desired densified structure;
• comparing historical data representative of preform structures and densified structures with the parameters of the desired densified structure;
• providing parameters of a preform structure;
• forming, with an additive manufacturing device, the preform structure according to the parameters of the preform structure;
• and
• forming, with a sintering assembly, the desired densified structure from the preform structure.
