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 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 first nozzle, along a feed path extending from a source of the wire form of the build material to the first nozzle, the build material including a powder of a first metal dispersed in a binder system; at a third temperature greater than the second temperature, extruding the build material through the first nozzle and toward a build plate, the build material extruded through the first nozzle forming, on the build plate, a first three-dimensional object and a second three-dimensional object; and extruding an interface material through a second nozzle toward the build plate, between the first three-dimensional object and the second three-dimensional object, the interface material resisting bonding of the first three-dimensional object and the second three-dimensional object during sintering.
