  • Material Straightening Device for Feeding Material to an Additive Manufacturing Machine
    Publication number: 20200122395
    Abstract: A filament straightener, an additive manufacturing machine including a filament straightener, and methods of straightening a filament are provided. The filament straightener includes abase member, a plurality of guide members attached to the base member. The plurality of guide members defines a filament flow path therebetween. The filament flow path extends between an inlet end and an outlet end. The guide members are spaced relative to the filament flow path to cause a filament passing along the filament flow path between the inlet end and the outlet end to experience a plurality of bends to remove curvature memory.
