ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING METHOD AND APPARATUS

摘要

Additive manufacturing apparatus and method for producing an object layer by layer. The apparatus has a slurry applicator (5) for providing a layer of slurry (3) with a predetermined thickness (d1). The slurry (3) is a suspension containing a liquid and particles eventually forming the object, and has between 10 and 70volume % of particle content. A particle connection unit (7) is operative on the layer of slurry (3) to execute a single step particle connection process before applying a new layer of the slurry (3).
