Abstract:
A method for thermal compensation during an additive manufacturing process. In some aspects, the method may include receiving, at a CNC machine, information relating to a material used in the additive manufacturing process, wherein the received information includes at least a Coefficient for Thermal Expansion (CTE) for the material. The method may further include modifying a distance of travel for a first pre-programmed tool path based on at least the Coefficient for Thermal Expansion (CTE).

Claim (Index 33):
An additive manufacturing system, comprising:\n a nozzle having an inlet for receiving a flowable material and an outlet for depositing the flowable material; an applicator head surrounding at least a portion of a proximal region of the nozzle; a roller positionable about an axis that is orthogonal to a rotational axis of the roller; and a controller for moving the nozzle along a pre-programmed tool path, wherein the controller is configured to (i) receive information relating to the flowable material, wherein the received information includes at least an identification of the flowable material from a list of materials and a Coefficient for Thermal Expansion (CTE) for the flowable material and (ii) modify a distance of travel for the nozzle along the pre-programmed tool path based on at least the Coefficient for Thermal Expansion (CTE).
