Abstract

A 3D printing apparatus and method prints a partial part, and continues to print the part after the partially-printed part has been rotated. Each partial printing operation may include reinforcement via application of one or more layers of continuous fiber. The rotation and continued printing of the partially-printed part allows for fiber orientation in different orientations for the printed part.
