  • Publication number: 20170028640
    Abstract: A system (100) for additively manufacturing a composite part (102) is disclosed. The system (100) comprises a housing (104) and a nozzle (107). The nozzle (107) is supported by the housing (104). The nozzle (107) comprises an outlet (110), sized to dispense a continuous flexible line (112). The continuous flexible line (112) comprises a non-resin component (114) and a photopolymer-resin component (116). The system (100) also comprises a feed mechanism (118), supported within the housing (104). The feed mechanism (118) is configured to push the continuous flexible line (112) out of the outlet (110) of the nozzle (107). The system (100) further comprises a light source (120), supported by the housing (104). The light source (120) is configured to deliver a light beam to the continuous flexible line (112) after the continuous flexible line (112) exits the outlet (110) of the nozzle (107) to at least partially cure the photopolymer-resin component (116) of the continuous flexible line (112).

  • Publication number: 20170028635
    Abstract: A system (100) for additively manufacturing a composite part (102) is disclosed. The system (100) comprises a delivery guide (112), movable relative to a surface (114). The delivery guide (112) is configured to deposit at least a segment (120) of a continuous flexible line (106) along a print path (122). The continuous flexible line (106) comprises a non-resin component (108) and a thermosetting resin component (110) that comprises a first part (253) and a second part (255) of a thermosetting resin (252). The print path (122) is stationary relative to the surface (114). The delivery guide (112) comprises a first inlet (170) configured to receive the non-resin component (108), and a second inlet (250) configured to receive at least the first part (253) of the thermosetting resin (252). The delivery guide (112) is further configured to apply the first part (253) and the second part (255) of the thermosetting resin (252) to the non-resin component (108).
