The article presents the concept of 3D printer head equipped with a mixing system and a gas shield system. The solution has the protection of intellectual property rights in the form of application of the invention in the Polish Patent Office. Currently used solutions and innovativeness of the head according to the invention were discussed. Constructional solutions of individual components of the head including a description of their operation were presented. The concept is the basis for research on the construction of a prototype of this head and verification of the effectiveness of its operation and functionality in laboratory conditions.
