Classification: CPC B | IPC B

Claim 0:
1. A method of controlling an additive manufacturing print process on an additive manufacturing printer, comprising:
monitoring, via a plurality of sensors, at least one of:
an input of print filament to a print head of the printer; and
a temperature of a nozzle of the printer,

as indicative of a current state of the additive manufacturing print process;
receiving, at at least one controller, sensor data regarding the monitoring from the plurality of sensors;
comparing the current state to a correct state of the print process by comparing the sensor data to a database of stored correct states of the print process;
assessing a crimping of the print filament as compared to the correct state of the print filament; and
modifying at least one output from the at least one controller to revise the compliance of the print filament to the correct state without halting the print process.
