Increased material flow throughput in large scale additive manufacturing through movable segmented build platform
Abstract
An assembly for additive manufacturing includes a build housing including a base, a print head, and a print head support connected to the base for supporting the print head above the base. A driver system is provided for moving the print head and the base relative to one another. A build platform comprising a build support and at least one platen. The build support can be detachably engageable to the housing. The platens can be detachably engageable to the build support. The build support can include registration structure for registering the position of the build support relative to the build housing. A method of additive manufacturing is also disclosed.
