Additive manufacturing system with extended printing volume, and methods of use thereof |
摘要 |
An additive manufacturing system for printing three-dimensional parts, the system comprising a heatable region, a receiving surface, a print head configured to print a three-dimensional part onto the receiving surface in a layer-by-layer manner along a printing axis, and a drive mechanism configured to index the receiving surface along the printing axis such that the receiving surface and at least a portion of the three-dimensional part out of the heated region. |

1. An additive manufacturing system for printing three-dimensional parts, the system comprising:
a build environment having a first length; a print head within the build environment, the print head configured to print a part material along a printing axis; a receiving surface configured as a build plane oriented substantially normal to the printing axis, the receiving surface configured to receive the printed part material from the print head to build the three-dimensional part in a layer-by-layer manner to a selected part length where the part length is greater than the first length of the build environment; and a drive mechanism configured to index the receiving surface along the printing axis such that the receiving surface and at least a portion of the three-dimensional part move out of the build environment as the three-dimensional part is being built in the layer-by layer manner. |
