Original Abstract Submitted
a device for additive manufacturing of a component includes a material dispensing unit for depositing a building material and an actuator assembly which is designed to move the material dispensing unit over a work surface in order to deposit the building material layer by layer in predetermined print paths. the device has at least one first guide leg which is designed to shape a first surface of the one or more layers of building material deposited by the material dispensing unit. the at least one first guide leg is displaceable and driven by a first actuator, in at least one translational degree of freedom (x, y, z) relative to the material dispensing unit. the at least one first guide leg is driven by a second actuator so as to be pivotable relative to the material dispensing unit in at least one rotational degree of freedom (dx, dy, dz).
