ALEXANDRIA, Va., Oct. 8 -- United States Patent no. 12,434,302, issued on Oct. 7, was assigned to ORTHO DEVELOPMENT Corp. (Draper, Utah).

"Method for manufacturing porous structures using additive manufacturing" was invented by Anthony P Sanders (Sandy, Utah).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A novel process for creating porous structures via additive manufacturing processes such as material deposition or powder bed fusion additive manufacturing is provided. The process reduces the computational requirement for generation of the porous structure geometry and for processing the porous structure geometry to generate CNC code. The process provides reduced file size for CNC code and avoids large file...
