US Patent Issued to Honeywell Federal Manufacturing & Technologies on Jan. 27 for "Helical patterning on a curved surface for additive manufacturing of a fragmentation device" (Missouri Inventor)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Jan. 28 -- United States Patent no. 12,536,347, issued on Jan. 27, was assigned to Honeywell Federal Manufacturing & Technologies LLC (Kansas City, Mo.).

"Helical patterning on a curved surface for additive manufacturing of a fragmentation device" was invented by Megan Elizabeth Bax (Independence, Mo.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Methods of creating geometry for a fragmentation device are presented. The geometry may be generated using computer-aided design tools. An inner body with a curved surface may be generated. An intersection line may be generated on the curved surface by tracing a helical path. A fragment comprising a fragment surface tangent to the curved surface ma...
