    Abstract: A system (100) comprises a delivery guide (112) movable relative to a surface (114). The delivery guide (112) is configured to deposit a continuous flexible line (106) along a print path (122) that is stationary relative to the surface (114). The system (100) further comprises a vessel (236), configured to hold a volume of a liquid photopolymer resin (252) and to apply a quantity of the liquid photopolymer resin (252) to the non-resin component (108) to create the continuous flexible line (106). The system (100) further comprises a feed mechanism (104), configured to pull the non-resin component (108) through the vessel (236) and to push the continuous flexible line (106) out of the delivery guide (112). The system (100) further comprises a source (116) of curing energy (118). The source (116) is configured to deliver the curing energy (118) at least to a portion (124) of the segment (120) of the continuous flexible line (106) after the segment (120) of the continuous flexible line (106) exits the delivery guide (112).

    Abstract: A system for separating support structure from a three-dimensional (3D)-printed component integrally printed with the support structure during an additive manufacturing (AM) process includes one or more transducers, indexing features configured to engage the transducer(s) and position the transducer(s) in contact with the support structure, and an electronic control unit (ECU). The ECU activates the transducer(s) which then vibrate at a predetermined resonant frequency of the support structure until the support structure fractures. A method includes engaging a transducer with an indexing feature, positioning the indexing feature with respect to the support structure such that the transducer is in contact with the support structure, and activating the transducer during a post-processing stage of the AM process, via the ECU, to cause the transducer to vibrate at the predetermined resonant frequency until the support structure fractures or breaks.
