The invention describes a method for 3D printing objects using an apparatus with supporting legs, a gantry, and an extruder. It involves feeding thermoplastic material through the extruder and depositing it from a nozzle that moves vertically, and potentially at an angle, to build the object. The claims focus on this specific printing mechanism rather than the initial idea of creating smooth surfaces or using a mold.
Why it matters: The claims focus on precise nozzle movement for thermoplastic deposition, including at an oblique angle. Advancements in 3D printer motion control systems and slicing software since 2021 have made implementing such complex, non-planar deposition paths more precise and accessible.
