Abstract:
A printer fabricates an object from a computerized model using a fused filament fabrication process. The shape of an extrusion nozzle may be varied during extrusion to control, e.g., an amount of build material deposited, a shape of extrudate exiting the nozzle, a feature resolution, and the like.

Claim (Index 1):
A method comprising:\n heating a wire form of a build material from a first temperature to a second temperature as the wire form of the build material moves, in a direction toward a nozzle, along a feed path extending from a source of the wire form of the build material to the nozzle, the build material including a metal powder dispersed in a binder system; at a working temperature greater than the second temperature, liquefying at least a portion of the build material moving along the feed path; and at the working temperature, extruding the build material through the nozzle and in a direction toward a build plate, the build material extruded through the nozzle forming a three-dimensional object on the build plate.
