Abstract:
An additive manufacturing resin system includes a container; a build platform in the container; a build platform drive; an additive manufacturing resin that forms an additive manufacturing resin bath; an additive manufacturing print head; a build material supply connected to the additive manufacturing print head; an infill resin in the container, wherein the infill resin is supported by the additive manufacturing resin bath; a computer controller; and an extruded material that forms the product, wherein the infill resin at least partially surrounds the extruded material that forms the product. An infill resin supply provides the infill resin into the container and a control valve is connected to the infill resin supply. An IR light sensor is connected to the control valve and operatively connected to the infill resin in the container.
