Abstract

See full text

Systems and methods for printing a three-dimensional object include a 3D printing device and a plasma applicator. In some embodiments the plasma applicator is rotatably connected to the 3D printing device and may apply plasma to a molten layer of 3D printing material immediately after the material is laid, or to a solidified layer immediately before the next layer is laid. In some embodiments a second plasma applicator is included for application of plasma both before and after each layer. In some embodiments plasma is applied to the final layer of a finished 3D printed object.
