Apparatus and method for printing 3D objects using additive manufacturing techniques and material extruders with translation and rotation axes

摘要

An extruder capable of depositing material while a 5D printer that additionally manufactures an object moves relative to the object linearly along three orthogonal axes and rotating about at least one of the axes. Prepare. A gantry is movable along the X, Y, and Z axes, and a trunnion table that is movable around the A and B axes is mounted on the gantry. A platen is mounted on the trunnion table, and the extruder deposits material on the platen while moving the gantry and trunnion table. Analyzing the model of the object and generating a stress tensor for the object, the deposition follows the stress tensor.
