Abstract:
A system comprises a delivery guide movable relative to a surface. The delivery guide is configured to deposit a continuous flexible line along a print path that is stationary relative to the surface. The system further comprises a vessel, configured to hold a volume of a liquid photopolymer resin and to apply a quantity of the liquid photopolymer resin to the non-resin component to create the continuous flexible line. The system further comprises a feed mechanism, configured to pull the non-resin component through the vessel and to push the continuous flexible line out of the delivery guide. The system further comprises a source of curing energy. The source is configured to deliver the curing energy at least to a portion of the segment of the continuous flexible line after the segment of the continuous flexible line exits the delivery guide.
