Methods for additively manufacturing composite parts
A method of additively manufacturing a composite part comprises applying a thermosetting resin to a non-resin component to create a continuous flexible line by pulling a non-resin component through a first resin-part applicator, in which a first quantity of a first part of the thermosetting resin is applied to the non-resin component, and by pulling a non-resin component through a second resin-part applicator, in which a second quantity of a second part of the thermosetting resin is applied to at least a portion of the first quantity of the first part of the thermosetting resin, applied to the non-resin component. The method further comprises routing the continuous flexible line into a delivery guide and depositing, via the delivery guide, a segment of the continuous flexible line along a print path.
Methods for additively manufacturing composite parts
A method of additively manufacturing a composite part comprises applying a photopolymer resin to a non-resin component while pushing a continuous flexible line through a delivery assembly. The continuous flexible line comprises the non-resin component and a photopolymer-resin component that comprises at least some of the photopolymer resin applied to the non-resin component. The method also comprises depositing, via the delivery assembly, a segment of the continuous flexible line along a print path. The method further comprises delivering curing energy to at least a portion of the segment of the continuous flexible line deposited along the print path.

Systems and methods for additively manufacturing composite parts
A method of additively manufacturing composite part comprises depositing a segment of a continuous flexible line along a print path. The continuous flexible line comprises a non-resin component and further comprises a photopolymer-resin component that is uncured. The method further comprises delivering a predetermined or actively determined amount of curing energy at least to a portion of the segment of the continuous flexible line at a controlled rate while advancing the continuous flexible line toward the print path and after the segment of the continuous flexible line is deposited along the print path to at least partially cure at least the portion of the segment of the continuous flexible line.
