โข Finishes the bead's final shape and dimension
โข Provides important active bead compaction
โข The nozzle tip is slightly above the finished bead height
โข Nozzle tip does not drag through the material to form the final shape
โข Prevents excessive material build up on the nozzle
โข Temperature controlled only to prevent polymer affinity (sticking to wheel)
โข Removal of inter-bead voids
โข Consistency in printed composite microstructures
โข Enhances interlayer bonding
โข Enhances lateral bead to bead solidity
โข Layer-to-layer fusion is over 50% GREATER in strength when compared to methods that utilize a tamping device or those that have no application device at all.
โข This results in fused, solid structures that hold vacuum exceeding aerospace standards, ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก๐จ๐ฎ๐ญ the need for fill compounds or sealants.
