Additive manufacturing system with advanced roller positioning techniques

The granted patent US12070799B2 describes an innovative additive manufacturing system designed to enhance the efficiency and precision of the printing process. Central to this system is a print box that defines a specific volume, complemented by a movable print carriage equipped with at least one orifice for material deposition. A key feature of the system is a roller positioned transversely to the lateral dimension of the print box. The system also includes a swing arm with an elongate member that has two joints, allowing for pivotable movement. This design enables the roller to be positioned in advance of the print carriage, facilitating bidirectional movement along the lateral dimension of the print box.

Additionally, the system incorporates a rail that supports the bidirectional movement of both the print carriage and the roller. This rail system enhances the operational capabilities of the additive manufacturing process, allowing for more versatile and controlled movements above the defined volume. The combination of these elements aims to improve the overall functionality and effectiveness of additive manufacturing, potentially leading to advancements in various applications within the field.
