An additive manufacturing apparatus , comprising: a process chamber having a length defined by at least a cleaning zone, a build zone, and a supply zone sequentially positioned at discrete portions along the length of the process chamber ; a support extending along the length of the process chamber in a first vertical plane; a printing assembly comprising a plurality of nozzles for dispensing binder within the build zone, the printing assembly is movably coupled to the support via a first actuator configured to move in a forward and reverse direction along a length of the support , and positioned in a second vertical plane parallel to the first vertical plane; a vision system configured to image a dispensed binder pattern in the build zone; and an electronic control unit communicatively coupled to the printing assembly , the first actuator, and the vision system , the electronic control unit is configured to: cause the printing assembly to traverse the build zone in a forward or reverse direction while dispensing binder according to a programmed deposition pattern, receive image data from the vision system of the dispensed binder pattern resulting from the programmed deposition pattern, analyze the image data to determine whether there is an anomaly in the dispensed binder pattern, and in response to determining the presence of the anomaly in the dispensed binder pattern, adjust the programmed deposition pattern for a subsequent traversal of the printing assembly over the build zone to address the anomaly. a process chamber having a length defined by at least a cleaning zone, a build zone, and a supply zone sequentially positioned at discrete portions along the length of the process chamber ; a support extending along the length of the process chamber in a first vertical plane; a printing assembly comprising a plurality of nozzles for dispensing binder within the build zone, the printing assembly is movably coupled to the support via a first actuator configured to move in a forward and reverse direction along a length of the support , and positioned in a second vertical plane parallel to the first vertical plane; a vision system configured to image a dispensed binder pattern in the build zone; and an electronic control unit communicatively coupled to the printing assembly , the first actuator, and the vision system , the electronic control unit is configured to: cause the printing assembly to traverse the build zone in a forward or reverse direction while dispensing binder according to a programmed deposition pattern, receive image data from the vision system of the dispensed binder pattern resulting from the programmed deposition pattern, analyze the image data to determine whether there is an anomaly in the dispensed binder pattern, and in response to determining the presence of the anomaly in the dispensed binder pattern, adjust the programmed deposition pattern for a subsequent traversal of the printing assembly over the build zone to address the anomaly. cause the printing assembly to traverse the build zone in a forward or reverse direction while dispensing binder according to a programmed deposition pattern, receive image data from the vision system of the dispensed binder pattern resulting from the programmed deposition pattern, analyze the image data to determine whether there is an anomaly in the dispensed binder pattern, and in response to determining the presence of the anomaly in the dispensed binder pattern, adjust the programmed deposition pattern for a subsequent traversal of the printing assembly over the build zone to address the anomaly. <EOS>
