Questions about Print Head for Additive Manufacturing: 1. How does the dynamic force adjustment contribute to the extrusion process? - The dynamic force adjustment helps in maintaining consistent pressure on the print material filament, resulting in precise extrusion. 2. What are the potential advantages of using a print head with two proximate hobs? - Having two hobs allows for more controlled and efficient extrusion of print material filament.
Original Abstract Submitted
the disclosure is of and includes at least an apparatus, system and method for a print head for additive manufacturing. the apparatus, system and method may include at least two proximate hobs suitable to receive and extrude therebetween a print material filament for the additive manufacturing; a motor capable of imparting a rotation to at least one of the two hobs, wherein the extrusion results from the rotation; a dynamic force adjustment capable of exerting force on one of the two hobs to urge the force-receiving hob toward the other of the two hobs; and a controller communicatively connected with the dynamic force adjustment and capable of controlling the force exertion thereof.
