Discrete Assemblers Utilizing Conventional Motion Systems

US Patent:
20180009110, Jan 11, 2018
Filed:
Apr 22, 2016
Appl. No.:
15/031545
Inventors:
- Cambridge MA, US
Matthew Eli Carney - Brookline MA, US
Benjamin Jenett - Cambridge MA, US
Neil Gershenfeld - Cambridge MA, US
International Classification:
B25J 9/16
B25J 5/02
G05B 19/402
G01L 5/00
B23P 19/04
Abstract:
An alternative to additive manufacturing is disclosed, introducing an end-to-end workflow in which discrete building blocks are reversibly joined to produce assemblies called digital materials. Described is the design of the bulk-material building blocks and the devices that are assembled from them. Detailed is the design and implementation of an automated assembler, which takes advantage of the digital material structure to avoid positioning errors within a large tolerance. To generate assembly sequences, a novel CAD/CAM workflow is described for designing, simulating, and assembling digital materials. The structures assembled using this process have been evaluated, showing that the joints perform well under varying conditions and that the assembled structures are functionally precise.

Digital Material Assembly By Passive Means And Modular Isotropic Lattice Extruder System

US Patent:
20170314267, Nov 2, 2017
Filed:
Jul 14, 2017
Appl. No.:
15/649837
Inventors:
- Cambridge MA, US
Benjamin Jenett - Cambridge MA, US
Neil Gershenfeld - Cambridge MA, US
International Classification:
E04C 3/02
B23P 19/04
B64C 1/06
E04B 1/19
Abstract:
A set of machines and related systems build structures by the additive assembly of discrete parts. These digital material assemblies constrain the constituent parts to a discrete set of possible positions and orientations. In doing so, the structures exhibit many of the properties inherent in digital communication such as error correction, fault tolerance and allow the assembly of precise structures with comparatively imprecise tools. Assembly of discrete cellular lattices by a Modular Isotropic Lattice Extruder System (MILES) is implemented by pulling strings of lattice elements through a forming die that enforces geometry constraints that lock the elements into a rigid structure that can then be pushed against and extruded out of the die as an assembled, load bearing structure.
