Claim 6:
7. A mobile additive manufacturing apparatus for depositing a first seal coating material comprising:
a navigation system to determine location;
a controller capable of executing algorithms and providing control signals,
a vision system capable of scanning a first surface and measuring a topography of the surface as the mobile additive manufacturing apparatus moves over the first surface;
a drive system to move the mobile additive manufacturing apparatus;
a mobile additive manufacturing system to deposit at least the first material for seal coating in a prescribed location on the surface according to a digital model processed by the controller;
a power system capable of providing power to operate at least the drive system, the navigation system, the controller and the mobile additive manufacturing system;
a chassis, wherein the chassis supports all of the navigation system, the controller, the vision system, the drive system, the mobile additive manufacturing system and the power system; and
a rotary dispensing system, wherein the rotary dispensing system comprises a rotary gantry, wherein the rotary gantry is moved by a motor driving an element around a central axis supported by the chassis; and
wherein the rotary gantry comprises at least a first squeegee and at least a first nozzle, wherein the rotary gantry continuously rotates around the central axis while the nozzle dispenses the first seal coating material, and wherein the rotating squeegee spreads out the first seal coating material on the first surface as the mobile additive manufacturing apparatus moves across the first surface.
