Abstract: A method and system for manufacturing one or more three-dimensional porous structures (10). Filaments (2) are deposited on a support in a predetermined interconnected arrangement in a plurality of stacked layers (11) for forming one or more porous structure with interconnected pores (15). A nozzle head (30) with a plurality of nozzles (20) is used for depositing filaments. The plurality of nozzles are spaced apart from each other with a predetermined spacing therebetween. Each nozzle has an opening area through which filaments are dispensed as the nozzle head is moved relative to the support. Multiple 3D porous structures are manufactured in parallel, using a subset of nozzles for each porous structure, each subset of nozzles including at least one nozzle. Neighboring subsets of nozzles are distanced in order to provide a working area on which the relevant porous structure of the plurality of porous structures is manufactured.

Abstract: A method and system for manufacturing a three-dimensional porous structure. Filaments are deposited in a predetermined interconnected arrangement in a plurality of stacked layers for forming a porous structure with interconnected pores. A pressure value indicative of a pressure being applied on the build material in the build material reservoir of a nozzle used for deposition is monitored during deposition of the filaments. The processing unit is configured to adjust at least one extrusion parameter in order to compensate for the irregular rising and/or falling of the pressure value.
