Abstract:
The present disclosure provides various aspects for mobile and automated processing utilizing additive manufacturing. The present disclosure includes methods for the utilization of mobile and automated processing apparatus. In some examples, the mobile additive manufacturing apparatus may perform surface treatments that alter the topography of an existing surface. Other examples may involve the processing of dimensionally large layers which may be joined together to create large pieces with three dimensional shape.

Claim (Index 1):
A mobile additive manufacturing apparatus comprising:\n a controller capable of executing algorithms and providing control signals; an additive manufacturing system to deposit a material or combination of materials in prescribed locations across a surface according to a first digital model processed by the controller; a drive system operative to transport the additive manufacturing system along the surface; a vision system capable of scanning the surface and measuring a topography of the surface; a navigation system to determine a location of the additive manufacturing system and guide the drive system; a power system capable of providing power to operate at least the drive system, navigation system, control system and additive manufacturing system; a second digital model formed by measurement utilizing the vision system, wherein the second digital model is of a topography of the surface and defects in a region proximate to the mobile additive manufacturing apparatus; a material storage system capable to store at least a first material to be supplied to the additive manufacturing system, wherein the material storage system maintains storage conditions by controlling one or more of temperature and pressure; a surface preparation system capable to remove one or more of flaked surface material, dust, dirt and debris from the surface in advance of the additive manufacturing system; a communication system capable of transmitting signals outside the mobile additive manufacturing apparatus and receiving signals originating from outside the mobile additive manufacturing apparatus, wherein the transmitted signals comprise one or more of radiofrequency, infrared, optical or sound based emissions; and a composite material element, wherein the composite material element comprises a filler and an adhesive/sealing material, and wherein the composite material element is deposited by the additive manufacturing system.
