Method and apparatus for the sequential additive manufacturing of continuous material transitions in composite layers

A control system for generating a composite pattern, comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, causes the at least one processor to:
• (a) receive information corresponding to a first pattern;
• (b) receive information corresponding to a second pattern;
• (c) control an extruder to print a first semi-liquid material in the first pattern;
• and
• (d) control the extruder to print a second semi-liquid material in the second pattern,
• wherein (c) and (d) are performed to combine the first semi-liquid material with the second semi-liquid material to form a composite having a third pattern.
