Abstract
Disclosed is an additive manufacturing process for making shingles and roof tiles. The entire shingle, including the substrate, can be manufactured on location, or a substrate can be manufactured at a manufacturing plant and then colored and textured on location to provide a wide variety of shapes and colors of shingles and roof tiles. Costs for inventory and shipping are reduced and a greater variety of shapes and colors can be provided for the shingles and roof tiles. The additive manufacturing equipment can be mounted on a truck so that the additive manufacturing techniques can be a mobile application of the additive manufacturing technology.
