Abstract:
A technique for additive manufacturing that avoids the necessity of having a build plate. The illustrative embodiment comprises two anchor plates from which a structure is constructed that forms at least the initial support for the object to be manufactured. The envelope of the structure can be a cylinder, a box, an n-sided prism, a hyperboloid of one sheet, a cone, the frustum of a cone, a pyramid, and the frustum of a pyramid.

Claim (Index 8):
An article of manufacture comprising:\n a set of N segments of fiber-reinforced thermoplastic filament f 0 , f 1 , f 2 , . . . , f n , . . . f N\u22122 , f N\u22121 , wherein segment f n  lies along the line (x(t,n),y(t,n),z(t,n)) in Cartesian space, wherein: x \ue8a0 ( t , n ) = t \ue8a0 ( R 1 \ue89e \ue89e cos \ue8a0 ( 2 \ue89e \u03c0 \ue89e \ue89e n N \ue89e \u03a9 1 + \u03a8 1 ) + X 1 ) + ( 1 - t ) \ue89e ( R 2 \ue89e \ue89e cos \ue8a0 ( 2 \ue89e \u03c0 \ue89e \ue89e n N \ue89e \u03a9 2 + \u03a8 2 ) + X 2 ) , \n \ue89e y \ue8a0 ( t , n ) = t \ue8a0 ( R 3 \ue89e \ue89e sin \ue8a0 ( 2 \ue89e \u03c0 \ue89e \ue89e n N \ue89e \u03a9 1 + \u03a8 1 ) + Y 1 ) + ( 1 - t ) \ue89e ( R 4 \ue89e \ue89e sin \ue8a0 ( 2 \ue89e \u03c0 \ue89e \ue89e n N \ue89e \u03a9 2 + \u03a8 2 ) + Y 2 ) , and \ue89e z \ue8a0 ( t , n ) = t \ue8a0 ( z 1 ) + ( 1 - t ) \ue89e ( z 2 ) ; and wherein segment f n  is fused to segment f n+K (mod N) , wherein K is a positive integer; wherein N is a positive integer 3 and n is a non-negative integer such that n\u2208{0, 1, 2, . . . , N\u22121}; wherein R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , R 4 , \u03a9 1 ,\u03a9 2 , X 1 , X 2 , Y 2 , z 1 , z 2 , and t are real numbers; and wherein R 1 \u22650, R 2 \u22650, R 3 \u22650, R 4 \u22650, R 1 +R 2 >0, and R 3 +R 4 >0.
