Abstract: A construction system is provided. The construction system includes at least one machine. The construction system also includes a gantry system having a beam member. The construction system further includes a reference member provided proximal to a predetermined path of the at least one machine. The construction system includes a sensing unit associated with the at least one machine. The sensing unit is configured to determine distance of a portion of the at least one machine from the reference member. The construction system also includes a control unit in communication with the at least one machine and the sensing unit. The control unit is configured to receive inputs indicative of distance of the portion of the at least one machine from the reference member. The control unit is also configured to move the at least one machine to move the gantry system along the reference member for a predetermined distance.

Abstract: A structure is provided. The structure includes a first component disposed in the first plane. The structure also includes a second component extending from the first component and disposed in a second plane. The second plane is inclined at an angle with respect to the first plane. Each of the first component and the second component are constructed by forming layers parallel to each other using an additive manufacturing process.

Abstract: A method for forming an object using additive manufacturing process includes obtaining a Three Dimensional (3-D) digital model of the object to be formed; segmenting a work area into a plurality of distinct zones based on the 3-D digital model of the object to be formed; assigning a plurality of print heads to the plurality of zones such that at least one print head is configured to print in at least one of the plurality of zones; printing each of the plurality of zones by the assigned plurality of print heads; and assigning at least one print head from the plurality of print heads to print an intermediate zone lying between a pair of adjacently located zones.

Abstract: A method of guiding deposition of a material to form a Three Dimensional (3D) structure is disclosed. The method includes generating a tool path based on a digital model of the 3D structure via a controller and communicating the tool path to a guiding device. The method further includes generating a guiding path on a work surface via the guiding device based on the tool path and depositing the material along the guiding path via a tool member.

Abstract: A modular retainer assembly for electrical cables is disclosed. The modular retainer assembly includes a base having an upper surface and a lower surface. The upper and lower surfaces of the base define a thickness of the base therebetween. The modular retainer assembly also includes a plurality of divider walls projected outwardly from the upper surface of the base. Each divider wall of the plurality of divider walls define a channel disposed between the divider wall and an adjacent divider wall. Also, each divider wall has a curved profile along a length of each divider wall. Further, a cross section of each divider wall defines a top portion thickness and a bottom portion thickness, the bottom portion thickness of the divider wall being less than the top portion thickness of the divider wall measured at the cross section of the divider wall.
