US Patent 11390019 Additive manufacturing method and object manufactured thereby

An additive manufacturing method and an object manufactured thereby are disclosed. The object includes a first component and a second component pivotally connected to each other through a rotation shaft. A first engaging element of the first component and a second engaging element of the second component spatially correspond to each other. When the object is manufactured in a manufacturing space, the first component is close to the second component, and the first engaging element and the second engaging element are disengaged with each other. After the object is manufactured, the first component is rotated relative to the second component at an adjustment angle around the rotation shaft. The first engaging element and the second engaging element are engaged with each other and locked, to form a use space of the object larger than the manufacturing space. It is beneficial to achieve the purpose of reducing the required manufacturing space.
