FEEDSTOCK LINES, SYSTEMS, AND METHODS FOR ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING, ADVANCED FIBRE PLACEMENT OR ADVANCED TAPE LAYING

摘要

A feedstock line (100) for additively manufacturing an object (108). The feedstock line (100) has a length and comprises a continuous flexible line (102). The continuous flexible line (102) has a peripheral surface (104). The feedstock line (100) also comprises a covering (106). The covering (106) is releasably coupled to the peripheral surface (104) of the continuous flexible line (102).
