Abstract
A method is disclosed of additively manufacturing an object. The method may include discharging a material from a supply through an outlet of a print head onto an underlying layer to form the object. The method may also include moving the print head with a support during the discharging, and selectively twisting the material about a longitudinal axis of the material.
Claims20
A system for additively manufacturing an object, the system comprising:
- a support;
- and
- a print head operatively connected to and moveable by the support, the print head including:
- a first module configured to hold a supply of material;
- an outlet configured to discharge the material during movement caused by the support;
- and
- a second module located downstream of the first module and upstream of the outlet relative to movement of the material through the print head, the second module being configured to selectively twist the material about a longitudinal axis of the material.
