Abstract
A nozzle for a 3D printing construction system is disclosed. The nozzle has a channel with an inlet and an outlet, the outlet being angled with respect to a deposition surface of a print material. An extrusion system for a 3D printing construction system is also disclosed. The extrusion system includes a tangentially rotating nozzle having a channel with an inlet and a non-circular outlet, the non-circular outlet being angled with respect to a deposition surface of a print material. Methods of constructing a structure with a 3D printing construction system are also disclosed.
Claims17
An extrusion nozzle for a three-dimensional construction system comprising:
- a gantry operative along a print path positioned adjacent to a deposition surface;
- and
- a nozzle configured to direct a volume of construction material onto the deposition surface, an outlet of the nozzle directed at an offset from the print path and the deposition surface to deposit a volume of a construction material at an incident angle on the deposition surface.
An extrusion control system for a 3D printing construction system, comprising:
- a gantry operative along a print path;
- and
- a tangentially rotating nozzle, the tangentially rotating nozzle having a channel with an inlet and an outlet with the outlet being configured to extend between a central axis of tangential rotation and a deposition surface.
