  • Method using a mobilized 3D printer
    Patent number: 9993973
    Abstract: A novel 3D printing technique is used to mobilize a 3D printer while printing thus creating an unlimited build volume. The 3D printer is mobilized by printing track or scaffold that guides the 3D printer as it moves in a spiral or helical, corkscrew, or linear fashion. After printing a segment the printer subsequently utilizes the track or scaffold printed during the process, after the material has set to the desired or specified hardness, for advancement and support of the printer.
