Multiple Independent Extrusion Heads for Fused Deposition Modeling

Fused Deposition Modeling is a rapid prototyping technique in which miniature extruders melt filaments of polymeric materials. The extruder is mounted to an X/Y stage, and a computer controls the machine so that the polymer is deposited in only the appropriate locations. Material is deposited on...
