  • Patent number: 11654623
    Abstract: A three-dimensional object printer includes a controller that operates at least one ejector to place a layer of photopolymer material on a substrate. The controller is configured to cure the ejected photopolymer layer partially and position fiber on the cured layer before continuing to eject photopolymer material onto the fibers. The fibers can be loose or organized into a mesh. The pieces of mesh position on a cured layer can be pre-cut or a cutting device can be operated to cut pieces of mesh having a shape that corresponds to the shape of the layer of photopolymer material. The fibers reinforce the layers of photopolymer material and add strength and durability to the overall part being formed with the photopolymer material.
