The granted patent US12030254B2 describes a system designed for constructing structures through an innovative printing assembly. This assembly is mounted on a gantry that moves above a designated surface, allowing for precise placement of extrudable building materials. Central to this system is a nozzle equipped with an outlet that extrudes material to form a bead with a defined longitudinal axis. The design emphasizes flexibility, enabling the direction of the bead's longitudinal axis to be adjusted based on the specific wall layout of the structure being constructed.

Additionally, the system incorporates advanced features to enhance the quality and accuracy of the construction process. A comparator is included to assess the number of tears in the extruded material against a predetermined target, as well as to evaluate the lateral roll of the bead relative to a target roll amount. Furthermore, a bead quality controller is integrated to modify the admixture and water content of the extrudable material, ensuring optimal performance during the construction process. These features collectively aim to improve the structural integrity and aesthetic quality of the constructed elements.
