Abstract

See full text

Several examples of an article of manufacture made with an additive manufacturing machine are disclosed. A length of fiber reinforcement is provided to a nozzle. The fiber reinforcement is embedded into a stream of a base polymer material at the nozzle and deposited as a bead of composite polymer material having fiber reinforcement. The fiber reinforcement may be dry or pre-impregnated with a reinforcing polymer. The additional strength of the composite polymer material having fiber reinforcement allows for true, three-dimensional printing of articles having unsupported regions.
