Abstract:
A drop draw and extrusion method that creates anchor points around, within, or around and within, the region where a two dimensional fibrous architecture is deposited. Between the anchor points, a nozzle translates at high speeds to draw, extrude, or draw and extrude (depending on the print settings), a filament from the nozzle and build a two dimensional network of filaments connected by the anchors. Webbed architectures fabricated using the methods described herein exhibit superior structural properties.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for manufacturing a structure, comprising:\n (a) depositing material ( 124 ) from a print head ( 102 ), creating a first anchor ( 116 a ) at a first position ( 116 b ) on a substrate ( 112 ); (b) depositing the material ( 124 ) from the print head ( 102 ), creating a second anchor ( 116 c ) at a second position ( 116 d ) on the substrate and laterally separated from the first position ( 116 b ); and (c) drawing a filament ( 600 ) of the material ( 124 ) extending from the first anchor ( 116 a ) to the second anchor ( 116 c ), comprising creating vertical space between the substrate ( 112 ) and the print head ( 102 ), laterally moving the print head ( 102 ) or the substrate ( 112 ) or both the print head ( 102 ) and the substrate ( 112 ) relative to one another so as to position the print head ( 102 ) above the second position ( 116 d ), and moving the substrate ( 112 ) and the print head ( 102 ) towards one another so as to connect the filament ( 600 ) to the second anchor ( 116 c ); and (d) repeating steps (a)-(c) so as to construct a pattern ( 700 c ) of the filaments ( 600 ) connecting a plurality of the anchors ( 114 a ,  114 c ).
