Abstract: Methods of infiltrating a three-dimensional part with a resin are disclosed. The methods include designing a part to be printed, the part having at least one inlet and an infill pattern. The methods include using three-dimensional printing to print the designed part. The methods further include infiltrating the printed part using a resin delivered to an interior of the part via the at least one inlet to surround the infill pattern with the resin. The methods additionally include allowing the infiltrated resin to cure.

Abstract: A three-dimensional printer for the additive manufacturing of a part is provided. The printer includes a build platen, a pre-extrusion system, and a print head located downstream of the pre-extrusion system and configured to receive and deposit a filament. The print head includes a receiving section configured to receive the filament, an outlet through which the filament is deposited onto the build platen or a previously added layer of a part, a feeding mechanism constructed and arranged to feed the filament into the outlet, and a path length adjustment system positioned on the print head disposed between the pre-extrusion system and the feeding mechanism. The path length adjustment system constructed and arranged to create slack in the filament being delivered from the pre-extrusion system. Path length adjustment devices incorporating sliding components and flexure components are also disclosed.

Abstract: A 3D printing apparatus and method prints a partial part, and continues to print the part after the partially-printed part has been rotated. Each partial printing operation may include reinforcement via application of one or more layers of continuous fiber. The rotation and continued printing of the partially-printed part allows for fiber orientation in different orientations for the printed part.
