Claim 4:
5. The exchangeable additive manufacturing machine system as claimed in claim 4, wherein the capillary based functional liquid releasing module further comprises one of:
a functional liquid reservoir for reserving a functional liquid;
a conveying pipe communicating with the functional liquid reservoir and serving as a part of a conveying path for the functional liquid;
at least one conveying channel configured inside the first curve additive manufacturing assembly component and serving as another part of the conveying path;
a releasing aperture opened on the first curve additive manufacturing assembly component and communicating with the at least one conveying channel, wherein the releasing aperture is positioned and oriented toward one of the first gap, the second gap and the third gap;
a peristaltic pump pumping the functional liquid out of from the reservoir and conveying it to the releasing aperture through the conveying pipe so as to convey the functional liquid to arrive the capillary releasing channel, wherein the functional liquid is driven to the outlet by the gravity or the capillary force, flows into the gap and diffuses in the gap with no difference due to the driving of the capillary force; and
a controller controlling the peristaltic pump to activate periodically or non-periodically to drive the functional liquid flowing to the releasing aperture.
