An additive manufacturing apparatus is provided. The apparatus comprises a build region. The apparatus comprises a construction material deposition unit arranged for relative reciprocating movement in at least a first direction across the build region for depositing a construction material incrementally in layers on the build region from a construction material deposition position on the construction material deposition unit. The apparatus comprises a first binding unit arranged for relative reciprocating movement in at least the first direction across the build region for binding construction material selectively at positions on the layers of construction material deposited on the build region from a first binding position on the first binding unit, The apparatus comprises a second binding unit arranged for relative reciprocating movement in at least the first direction across the build region for binding construction material selectively at positions on the layers of construction material deposited on the build region from a second binding position on the second binding unit. The first binding position, the construction material deposition position and the second binding position, are arranged in order in the first direction. Also disclosed is a configuration having two deposition positions arranged either side of a binding position, as well as manufacturing methods implementabie using the apparatus. |
