ABSTRACT:
An additive fabrication method using a fluid construction material which can be solidified, trowels defining first and second surfaces, and a nozzle for delivering fluid material to a predetermined location, including the steps of moving the trowels and nozzle along a predetermined path defining an enclosed area, delivering fluid material to the nozzle to extrude the material in a layer as the nozzle is moved along the path, with the first and second surfaces moving with the nozzle to produce a wall of the extruded material forming an enclosed area with a shaped outer surface and a shaped top surface, and delivering fluid material to the enclosed area.
