  • Publication number: 20260326368
    Abstract: An additive manufacturing system is described herein that includes an articulation system. The articulation system may include an actuator assembly, a base operably coupled with the actuator assembly, and an arm rotatable relative to the base. An end-piece may be operably coupled with a distal end portion of the arm. The end-piece may be rotatable relative to the arm. A print system may be configured to extrude an additive material towards the end-piece. A computing system may be configured to receive an input related to a defined design of an article, determine an end-piece path through actuation of the articulation system based on the defined design, and control the print system and the articulation system to extrude the additive material from the print system during the first additive process, wherein the first additive process comprises extruding multiple filaments of additive material simultaneously through the first nozzle.

  • Patent number: 12755354
    Abstract: Systems and methods provide an antialiasing engine and its related functions that distribute the computational effort and image reconstruction functions to achieve higher visual quality using morphological methods and operations. For example, an antialiasing engine detects one or more edges within a first frame and generates an edge image indicating a respective pixel's proximity to the foreground or the background based on detection of the one or more edges within the first frame. The antialiasing engine then generates an analytical edge by tracing the edge image and encodes the analytical edge into a depth frame within a video stream. The video stream is then transmitted to a client device where the analytical edge is responsively decoded by a client-side antialiasing engine and sampled to generate a final composition integrating the first frame into a second frame using the analytical edge, where the second frame is generated by the client device.

  • Publication number: 20260216951
    Abstract: An additive manufacturing system is described herein that includes an articulation system and a print system. The articulation system may include an arm operably coupled with an end-piece. The print system may be configured to extrude an additive material towards the end-piece. A computing system may include one or more processors and one or more non-transitory computer-readable media that collectively store instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, configure the computing system to receive an input related to a defined article design, determine a first additive process and a second additive process to additively manufacture the defined article, control the print system and the articulation system to extrude the additive material from the print system during the first additive process and control the print system and the articulation system to extrude the additive material from the print system during the second additive process.
