Claim Text:
1. A three-dimensional printing equipment assembly comprising: a) a three-dimensional printing build system comprising: a conveyor system adapted to conduct plural build modules along a circuitous path; plural build modules engaged with the conveyor system, wherein the plural build modules are adapted to receive and temporarily retain powder from a powder layering system, and wherein the plural build modules comprise respective incrementally height adjustable platforms, respective removable build plates disposed above the incrementally height adjustable platforms, and respective one or more sidewalls defining respective cavities within which the incrementally height adjustable platforms and the removable build plates are disposed; and at least one build station comprising: 1) at least one powder layering system adapted to form incremental powder layers within the plural build modules; and 2) at least one printing system adapted to apply a liquid according to a predetermined pattern to incremental powder layers within the plural build modules and comprising at least one liquid feed system and at least one print head adapted to deposit liquid according to a predetermined pattern onto the incremental powder layers; wherein the conveyor system repeatedly transports the plural build modules from the at least one powder layering system to the at least one printing system to form three-dimensionally printed bed comprising one or more three-dimensionally printed articles in the respective plural build modules.
