A method of additively manufacturing a composite part is disclosed. The method comprises applying a thermosetting resin to a non-resin component of a continuous flexible line while pushing the non-resin component through a delivery guide and pushing the continuous flexible line out of the delivery guide. The continuous flexible line further comprises a thermosetting resin component that comprises at least some of the thermosetting resin applied to the non-resin component. The method further comprises depositing, via the delivery guide, a segment of the continuous flexible line along the print path.

An apparatus includes an intake assembly, the intake assembly including a connector, the connector configured for coupling to a pressurized liquid source. The apparatus also includes a chemical storage assembly. The chemical storage assembly is coupled to at least one outlet of the intake assembly. The chemical storage assembly is configured for at least one of (a) storing a chemical or (b) mixing a chemical with a liquid from the pressurized liquid source. The apparatus further includes an outlet assembly. The outlet assembly includes a first outlet configured for expelling pressurized liquid from the pressurized liquid source in a first direction. The outlet assembly also includes a second outlet or a nozzle for expelling the chemical, the chemical mixed with the liquid, a chemical agent, or a foam mixture in a second direction.

A step of constantly supplying first and second carrier gases into a processing container having a substrate therein through first and second carrier gas flow paths, respectively, and supplying a source gas into the processing container through a source gas flow path, a step of purging the source gas by supplying a purge gas into the processing container through a purge gas flow path provided separately from the carrier gas, a step of supplying a reactant gas into the processing container through a reactant gas flow path, and a step of purging the reactant gas by supplying a purge gas into the processing container through the purge gas flow path are performed in a predetermined cycle. An additive gas having a predetermined function is supplied as at least a part of the purge gas in at least one of the purging steps.

The invention relates to a method for manufacturing an epilame mechanical part (2) comprising a substrate (4) made of a first material, the method comprising at least: a step (10) of depositing an epilame product (6) consisting of a second material on the substrate (4), said deposition being carried out in the form of a projection onto the substrate (4) of at least one collimated or localised beam (12; 12A, 12B) of material containing the epilame product (6); and a step (11) of treating the second material to ensure the cohesion of the components on the substrate (4).

A system for additively manufacturing a composite part is disclosed. The system comprises a housing and a nozzle. The nozzle is supported by the housing. The nozzle comprises an outlet, sized to dispense a continuous flexible line. The continuous flexible line comprises a non-resin component and a photopolymer-resin component. The system also comprises a feed mechanism, supported within the housing. The feed mechanism is configured to push the continuous flexible line out of the outlet of the nozzle. The system further comprises a light source, supported by the housing. The light source is configured to deliver a light beam to the continuous flexible line after the continuous flexible line exits the outlet of the nozzle to at least partially cure the photopolymer-resin component of the continuous flexible line.

An atomizing spray device includes a housing having inlets that receive a first fluid and a slurry of ceramic particles and a second fluid. The inlets are fluidly coupled with outlets by an interior chamber that mixes the first fluid with the slurry to form a primary mixture of the first fluid and first atomized droplets of the slurry. A first outlet on a first side of the housing and a second outlet on the first side of the housing are shaped to change the primary mixture to form a secondary mixture of the first fluid and second atomized droplets of the slurry. The first outlet sprays the secondary mixture onto a first surface as a first layer of coating and the second outlet sprays the secondary mixture onto the first surface as a second layer of coating while the housing moves in a direction along the first surface.
