Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods according to the present disclosure are configured for use in additive manufacturing, e.g. 3D printing. Various materials, including thermoplastic materials, can be used with an additive manufacturing system to create a part composite. Systems, devices, and methods described herein can be used to identify a characteristic of a material or of a material container for use with an additive manufacturing system. The identified characteristic can be used to determine an authenticity of the material. Based on the authenticity, one or more features or functions of the additive manufacturing system can be updated. The characteristic of the material may be optical information on the container of the material, e.g. a bar code, may be identified by emitting x-ray radiation and receiving a spectral characteristic, may be an electrical or magnetic characteristic or may be engraved on the surface of the material itself.

Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods according to the present disclosure are configured for use in additive manufacturing. Systems for additive manufacturing can include stand-alone manufacturing units, a series of units on an assembly line, or a high-capacity system with workflow automation features including a conveyor for transporting parts to or from a build area, or a robotic arm for transporting parts or adjusting a system component. An additive manufacturing system can include a movable extrusion head (170) assembly and two or more extrusion nozzle cartridges (171, 172) that can be selectively coupled to the extrusion head assembly. The head assembly can include a drive assembly for use with multiple different nozzle cartridges. A portion of a nozzle cartridge can be heated when the cartridge is decoupled from the extrusion head assembly, such as to preheat a portion of the cartridge prior to a build operation using the cartridge.

Abstract: Methods of making articles using additive manufacturing processes are disclosed. The article is built up from a multitude of layers. At least one layer includes a modeling material comprising a cross-linkable polycarbonate resin containing a photoactive group derived from a benzophenone. When exposed to an effective dosage of ultraviolet radiation, the modeling material crosslinks. This improves various properties of the final article.
