Abstract
A rotatable extrusion system is disclosed. The system includes a syringe pump base including a multi-nozzle attachment disposed at a bottom of the base. A plurality of syringe pumps are mounted to the syringe pump base, the plurality of syringe pumps respectively including a pump motor and a material reservoir. A rotational motor is operatively coupled to the syringe pump base for rotating the plurality of syringe pumps about a rotation axis.
