Abstract
An extrusion head for additive manufacturing includes an enclosure defining a supply chamber. The enclosure includes at least one inlet port opening into the supply chamber and configured to receive a material to be extruded under pressure and a plurality of extrusion nozzles. Each nozzle is in communication with the supply chamber and opens onto the exterior of the enclosure via an outlet orifice. The nozzles of the plurality of nozzles are arranged adjacent to one another with a determined spacing between each nozzle outlet orifice.
