A patent lawsuit filed by one of 3D printing’s most established firms against a consumer-focused upstart could have a big impact on the wider 3D-printing scene.<\/p>\n

In two complaints, (1<\/a>, 2<\/a>, PDF) filed in the Eastern District of Texas<\/a>, Marshall Division, against six entities related to Bambu Lab, Stratasys alleges that Bambu Lab infringed upon 10 patents that it owns, some through subsidiaries like Makerbot (acquired in 2013<\/a>). Among the patents cited are US9421713B2<\/a>, “Additive manufacturing method for printing three-dimensional parts with purge towers,” and US9592660B2<\/a>, “Heated build platform and system for three-dimensional printing methods.”<\/p>\n

There are not many, if any, 3D printers sold to consumers that do not have a heated bed, which prevents the first layers of a model from cooling during printing and potentially shrinking and warping the model. “Purge towers” (or “prime towers<\/a>” in Bambu’s parlance) allow for multicolor printing by providing a place for the filament remaining in a nozzle to be extracted and prevent bleed-over between colors. Stratasys’ infringement claims also target some fundamental technologies around force detection and fused deposition modeling (FDM) that, like purge towers, are used by other 3D-printer makers that target entry-level and intermediate 3D-printing enthusiasts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
