Application: Additive manufacturing apparatus for extrusion-based production of a shaped body (Patent ID: US20240181703A1)
The patent filed by Bayerische Motoren Werke AG describes an additive manufacturing apparatus for extrusion-based production of shaped articles using build materials in granulate or powder form. The apparatus includes a plasticizing means, a printing nozzle, and connecting channels for conducting the build material to the printing nozzle and a separate receiving region. The apparatus also features closure means, such as a needle valve, to control the flow of plasticized build material through the channels.
Furthermore, the apparatus allows for the use of build materials composed of plastics material with short fibers, and includes a build material collection reservoir for receiving excess build material. The apparatus can be connected to a robot unit for precise deposition of the build material on a build plane. Additionally, the plasticizing means may include a screw extruder and heating means for thermal energy transfer to the build material. The apparatus is designed for extrusion additive manufacturing processes like FDM, FFF, and FLM, with a specific process outlined for controlling the flow of build material to the printing nozzle and receiving region.
