Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2023143835
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
To provide an apparatus and a method for manufacturing a component via additive manufacturing techniques or processes, such as three-dimensional printing manufacturing techniques or processes.SOLUTION: An additive manufacturing apparatus includes: an extruder configured to receive a material; a work surface extending to define a plane receiving one or more layers of the material; an applicator assembly fixed downstream of the additive manufacturing apparatus; a nozzle coupled to the applicator assembly, and configured to receive the material from an extruder and deposit the material on the work surface; and an actuator configured to displace the work surface in a direction of movement. The direction of movement forms an acute angle with the plane.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
