Print head assembly and methods for using the same

Abstract

Additive manufacturing assemblies, printing assemblies, and methods for utilizing same are provided. A method includes providing a linear traversing stage (212) movable in a direction transverse to a rail (104) extending along a working axis of the additive manufacturing apparatus, and coupling a printing assembly (150) to the linear traversing stage (212) such that the printing assembly is movable along the linear traversing stage in a direction transverse to the working axis. In embodiments, the printing assembly includes a housing (201) including a printing head (154). At least one adjustment member (232) may be extended or retracted through a yaw bar (224) to rotate the housing. In embodiments, a printing head receptacle (502) may be provided for coupling the printing assembly to the rail. In embodiments, the yaw bar (224) may be provided between the housing and the printing head receptacle (502) for rotating the printing assembly relative to the printing head receptacle.
