A fused filament fabrication printer has a fixed extrusion module having multiple printheads having print tips. The fixed arrangement of the printing heads allows the close spacing of multiple print tips in a printhead unit, and the simple routing of multiple plastic or metal filaments to the individual printing heads. The closely spaced print tips in the printhead unit share common components. An exemplary printhead unit has four printing heads which share a common heating block and heating block temperature sensor. The heating block incorporates a group of four print tips evenly spaced along a line. Each printing head has a separate filament which is controlled and driven by its own stepper motor through the heating block to one of the print tips. Printing of a part is by control of individual stepper motors which drive filaments through the heating block and through one of the printing tips.

In an ink jet printing process, a desired vacuum is applied to the back side of a print substrate with proper feedback and control. The optimum vacuum exerts a suction force on ink dispersed on the front side of the print substrate to accelerate penetration of the ink into the print substrate and to reduce smear and intercolor bleeding. In addition, the vacuum may be applied in the ink jet printing process in combination with various other techniques including heating of the print substrate at any stage of printing process including before, during, after, and combinations thereof and delaying the time between ink dispersing of two different inks as in the checkerboard printing method. The employment of proper vacuum, inks, and printheads including partial-width or full-width array printheads allows a fast speed multi-color ink jet printing process to be carried out on a print substrate to give high resolution (e.g., 600 spi) multi-color images with good print quality.

This invention applies a new computer and printer integrated technology to aid forming physical objects rapidly, and the method and apparatus are disclosed to satisfy the market requirements for a quick, reliable, safe, and inexpensive operation. The invention coverts a virtual object stored in the storage device of computer through software that slices the virtual object into many layers. The cross-section of the first layer is sent to a printer or a plotter, and the contour domain is printed or plotted by the printer or plotter. The fluid (not limited to binder) in the printer head is coated onto a layer of uniform distributed porous material which allows the powder and fluid to combine with each other; however, the combining process can be either a natural or an artificial process to enhance the binding force between the fluid and powder. After the first layer is finished, the second layer of powder is uniformly distributed on the first layer, and the contour printing process is repeated. As the printing process is repeated until all slicing layers of the model are finished, the object is stacked layer by layer sequentially. The physical object can be obtained after all the unglued powders are removed. The above-mentioned printing process not only produces monochrome objects, but also produces color objects. The machine includes components of a printer or plotter and its interface card, and x-z axis traversal driven mechanism. The operation platforms include a material supply chamber, a constructing chamber at which powder material is combined with solution, and a recycling hole. A slicing algorithm control software is used to calculate the cross-sectional contour, and the manufacture process is controlled by software and hardware interfaces.

A fused filament fabrication printer uses a plurality of fixed printing heads mounted to a structure over a build platform on which the model is built by constructing each layer of the model as the build platform is indexed through a multiplicity of successive print planes. The build platform may be in the form of a circular disk mounted for rotation about a z-axis and for linear motion along the z-axis between successive print planes, and for linear motion along a y-axis which is a selected radial direction perpendicular to the z-axis. Because the printheads are fixed, multiple printheads are easily affixed with respect to the build platform along the same radial line defining the y-axis transverse to the selected radial direction along which the build platform moves.
