Abstract: A three-dimensional geometry is received, and sliced into layers. A first anisotropic fill tool path for controlling a three dimensional printer to deposit a substantially anisotropic fill material is generated defining at least part of an interior of a first layer. A second anisotropic fill tool path for controlling a three dimensional printer to deposit the substantially anisotropic fill material defines at least part of an interior of a second layer. A generated isotropic fill material tool path defines at least part of a perimeter and at least part of an interior of a third layer intervening between the first and second layers.

Abstract: A system is provided for securely performing 3D printing. The system includes: (a) computing equipment configured to: (1) display a list of items available for 3D printing to a user; (2) receive a selection from the user of a particular item; (3) authenticate an acquisition of the particular item by the user; and (4) send, to a 3D printer of the user, a secure 3D print file that includes a description of 3D geometry of the particular item, a description of access restrictions for 3D printing of the particular item, and secure access controls preventing unauthorized access to 3D printing of the particular item; and (b) the 3D printer configured to: (1) authenticate that the user has acquired the particular item and validate that the access restrictions for 3D printing of the particular item do not restrict 3D printing of the particular item by the 3D printer; and (2) in response to authenticating and validating, construct the particular item using the description of 3D geometry of the particular item.

Abstract: In a method for additive manufacturing, a multi-strand core reinforced filament including a flowable matrix material and substantially continuous reinforcing strands extending in a direction parallel to a length of the filament is supplied. A first consolidated composite swath of a height less than ½ the width of the filament is deposited in a first reinforcement formation including at least one straight path and at least one curved path against a deposition surface, and a second consolidated composite swath of a height less than ½ the width of the filament is deposited in a second reinforcement formation against the first consolidated composite swath. Each deposition flows the matrix material and applies an ironing force to spread the reinforcing strands within the filament against the underlying surface and/or previously deposited swath.
