  • APPARATUS AND METHOD OF EMBEDDING CABLE IN 3D PRINTED OBJECTS
    Publication number: 20200223213
    Abstract: Additive manufacturing method and apparatus for embedding cable in articles of additive manufacture in cooperation with a filament extrusion nozzle to increase their strength and functionality. This capability can be provided autonomously by integrating cable guides and cable cutters with new or existing print heads, enabling them to transition between filament-only, cable-only, and combined cable and filament printing modes to form mechanically stronger objects, integrated circuits within objects, and cable alternatives to filament scaffolding.
