Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO/2015/119819

Kind Code:

A3

Abstract:

A device, method and layered product produced from the method are disclosed. The method uses new fabrication steps involving stratified additive manufacturing. Steps include preparing continuous ribbons of solid first material and possibly a second material; rolling continuous ribbon onto a spool held within a feeder cassette configured to dispense continuous ribbon through a slit; loading each feeder cassette onto an engagement dock; dispensing on the bed of the machine a first strip of continuous ribbon; cutting it to a length and having an end profile as directed by digital specification programmed on the machine; and creating a layered object by dispensing, cutting and applying additional strips of continuous ribbon atop the previously dispensed strips in accordance with the digital specification. The apparatus includes a computer numerical control machine feeding strips of ribbon from the feeder cassettes loaded in an engagement dock.
