US9421713B2 - Additive manufacturing method for printing three-dimensional parts with purge towers

US9592660B2 - Heated build platform and system for three-dimensional printing methods

US7555357B2 - Method for building three-dimensional objects with extrusion-based layered deposition systems

US9168698B2 - Three-dimensional printer with force detection

US10556381B2 - Three-dimensional printer with force detection

That's like all of 3d printing, that's pretty scary. If they win on all 5, seems like it'd kill consumer 3d printing entirely.
