ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING APPARATUS HAVING A CARTRIDGE CONTAINING RODS OF MODELLING MATERIAL AND CARTRIDGE FOR SUCH AN APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240342991 titled 'ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING APPARATUS HAVING A CARTRIDGE CONTAINING RODS OF MODELLING MATERIAL AND CARTRIDGE FOR SUCH AN APPARATUS
The patent application describes an apparatus for forming a three-dimensional object using additive manufacturing, specifically extrusion-based modeling. The apparatus includes a printhead for depositing modeling material and a base that serves as a support for the object being printed. The printhead and base can move relative to each other to position and move the printhead to create the object. Additionally, the apparatus features a cartridge with solid modeling material rods and a feeding device to supply the material to the printhead, with the cartridge being placed on the feeding device.
- Printhead for depositing modeling material
