Abstract:
A printer fabricates an object from a computerized model using a fused filament fabrication process. A former extending from a nozzle of the printer supplements a layer fusion process by applying a normal force on new material as it is deposited to form the object. The former may use a variety of techniques such as heat and rolling to improve physical bonding between layers.

Claim (Index 1):
A method comprising:\n moving a first filament of a first build material, in a first direction toward a first nozzle, along a first feed path extending from a first spool of the first filament to the first nozzle, the first filament including first metal particles dispersed in a first binder system; moving a second filament of a second build material, in a second direction toward a second nozzle, along a second feed path extending from a second spool of the second filament of the second build material to the second nozzle, the second filament including second metal particles dispersed in a second binder system, the second metal particles smaller than first metal particles; and with the first build material at a first extrusion temperature and the second build material at a second extrusion temperature, extruding the first build material and the second build material through the respective one of the first nozzle and the second nozzle toward a build plate, the extrusion of the first build material and the second build material forming a three-dimensional object.
