Title: Additive manufacturing system
Inventor: IGNACIO ALEJANDRE
IPC: H01K1/58
Filed: 2016-05-12
Abstract: A fusing assembly 108 of a system for generating a three-dimensional (3D) object, e.g additive manufacture, comprises an enclosure 114 of a fusing lamp 112 having an open end. A first space 122 which encloses the fusing lamp is formed by the enclosure and a first transparent substrate 118; a second space 124, or channel, is formed between the first substrate and a second transparent substrate 120. A cooling fluid 208, such as air flow, is circulated through the enclosure wherein the volume of fluid flowing through the second space 216 is greater than that through the first 214, such that the temperature within the first space is greater than the second space. Openings may be provided to allow ingress and egress of cooling fluid through the first and second spaces wherein the dimensions of the openings are different to limit the amount of cooling fluid to be introduced to the first space. As a result, high temperature conditions as required by the fusing lamps may be maintained in the first space without excessively heating the second layer. A further embodiment is disclosed wherein the ends of the fusing lamp extend beyond the first and second space and are accessible by the cooling fluid.
