Abstract: A digital manufacturing system (10) for producing first and second objects (26A, 26B), the system comprising a platen (22), a gantry (20), a extrusion head system assembly and first and second sets of extruders (24A, 24B). The platen (22) defines a workspace upon which the objects (26A, 26B) are produced. The gantry (20) defines a headspace displaced from the workspace. The extrusion head system is mounted to the gantry (20) for movement in the headspace. The sets of extruders (24A, 24B) are connected to the extrusion head system and are configured to deposit extrusion material on the workspace to build the objects (26A, 26B). Each set of extruders (24A, 24B) comprises a first extruder (42A, 42B) mounted to the extrusion head system; a second extruder (44A, 44B) mounted to the extrusion head system so as to be actuatable from a first to a second position; and a flexible linkage (54) connecting the extruders (24A, 24B). The flexible linkages (54) position the second extruders (44A, 44B) in approximately equal known spatial relationships to the first extruders (42A, 42B) in the second positions.

Abstract: A digital manufacturing system (10) for producing first and second objects (26A, 26B), the system comprising a platen (22), a gantry (20), a pantograph extrusion head system and first and second sets of extruders (24A, 24B). The platen (22) defines a workspace upon which the objects (26A, 26B) are produced. The gantry (20) defines a headspace displaced from the workspace. The extrusion head system is mounted to the gantry (20) for movement in the headspace. The sets of extruders (24A, 24B) are connected to the extrusion head system and are configured to deposit extrusion material on the workspace to build the objects (26A, 26B). Each set of extruders (24A, 24B) comprises a first extruder (42A, 42B) mounted to the extrusion head system; a second extruder (44A, 44B) mounted to the extrusion head system so as to be actuatable from a first to a second position; and a flexible linkage (54) connecting the extruders (24A, 24B). The flexible linkages (54) position the second extruders (44A, 44B) in approximately equal known spatial relationships to the first extruders (42A, 42B) in the second positions.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method and apparatus for making a prototype injection molded part. An extruder of the type used for fused deposition modeling injects production thermoplastic material into a heated nonconductive plastic mold tool slowly at low pressure in an isothermic process. The mold tool may be built from a CAD drawing by fused deposition modeling or another rapid prototyping technique. Using the present invention, an injection molded prototype part can be made from a digital representation of the part within 24 hours by an engineer in an office environment.
