==Systems and Methods for Additive Manufacturing to Produce Carbon-Carbon Parts with Improved Properties and Reduced Manufacturing Times - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240278507 titled 'Systems and Methods for Additive Manufacturing to Produce Carbon-Carbon Parts with Improved Properties and Reduced Manufacturing Times

The present disclosure pertains to an additive manufacturing (AM) system for creating a part. The system includes a build plate for forming the part and a print nozzle component supported above the build plate. The print nozzle has first and second axially extending passageways. The first passageway allows extrusion of a first resin-infused feedstock material from a first source, while the second passageway enables extrusion of a second resin-infused feedstock material from a second source concurrently or alternately with the first material to form the part. The two resin-infused materials differ in composition.

* Build plate for forming the part
* Print nozzle component with first and second axially extending passageways
* Extrusion of first resin-infused feedstock material from a first source
* Extrusion of second resin-infused feedstock material from a second source
* Simultaneous or alternate extrusion of materials to form the part

Potential Applications:
- Customized manufacturing
- Prototyping
- Small-scale production

Problems Solved:
- Efficient production of parts with different material compositions
- Enhanced design flexibility
- Reduced material waste

Benefits:
- Increased customization options
- Improved production speed
- Cost-effective manufacturing process

Commercial Applications:
Title: Advanced Additive Manufacturing System for Customized Parts
This technology can be utilized in industries such as aerospace, automotive, and medical devices for rapid prototyping and small-scale production of customized parts.

Questions about the technology:
1. How does the system ensure proper extrusion of two different materials simultaneously?
2. What are the advantages of using resin-infused feedstock materials in additive manufacturing processes?


==Original Abstract Submitted==

the present disclosure relates to an additive manufacturing (am) system for making a part. the system may have a build plate on which to form the part, and a print nozzle component configured to be supported above the build plate. the print nozzle may have a first and second axially extending passageways. the first axially extending passageway enables a first resin-infused feedstock material supplied from a first source of resin-infused feedstock material to be extruded onto the build plate. the second axially extending passageway enables a second resin-infused feedstock material supplied from a second source of resin-infused feedstock material to be extruded onto the build plate concurrently with, or alternately with, extrusion of the first resin-infused feedstock material, to form the part. the first and second resin-infused print feedstock materials differ in composition from one another.
