Controller detects stationary fluid ejection device over hot build area and triggers periodic agent flushing to prevent nozzle clogging from thermal drying.
A vertically adjustable body closes the discharge opening at the build space edge to prevent material loss during layer construction.
A dual hobbed shaft print head drives filament into a heated chamber using independent motors and adjustable friction.
A fused deposition modeling printer head merges material extrusion with electronic component placement in a single mechanical assembly.
Plastic fluid guides isolate corrosive solvents from metal supports, preventing geometric distortion and module damage during layering.
Dynamic clear ink compensation prevents excessive layering and overcuring stains in 3D molded objects.
Rotating a nozzle generates shear stress that melts polymer via viscous heating, avoiding wall degradation while increasing deposition speed.
Continuous fiber deposition via a delivery guide orients reinforcement fibers along stress trajectories, reducing part weight compared to laminar construction.
Selective leveling suspension reduces glare and enables gripping finishes by preserving natural layer textures instead of smoothing every surface.
Segmented support layers combine water-soluble and mechanically removable regions to prevent damage during the removal of delicate 3D printed parts.
A plasticizing unit feeds fluid phase material into a pressurized storage device for intermittent droplet discharge.
