Abstract:
The present disclosure provides three-dimensional (3D) printing systems, apparatuses, software, and methods for the production of at least one requested 3D object. The 3D printer includes a material conveyance system, filtering system, and unpacking station. The material conveyance system may transport pre-transformed material against gravity. The 3D printing described herein comprises facilitating non-interrupted material dispensing through a component of the 3D printer, such as a layer dispenser.

Claim (Index 1):
An apparatus for printing at least one three-dimensional object, comprising:\n an enclosure comprising at least one wall that encloses a volume configured to accommodate a gas and the at least one three-dimensional object;\n an energy source that is configured to provide an energy beam that transforms a pre-transformed material to a transformed material to print the at least one three-dimensional object, which energy beam generates soot during transformation of the pre-transformed material to the transformed material; \n a channel configured to transport a first mixture that includes the gas, the soot, and the pre-transformed material which channel is operatively coupled to the enclosure; \n a separator that is operatively coupled to the channel, which separator is configured to separate the first mixture to a second mixture rich in the gas and the soot, and a third mixture rich in the pre-transformed material, wherein the channel is configured to transport the first mixture between the enclosure and the separator; and \n a collector comprising an inlet opening operatively coupled to the separator and configured to facilitate flow of the second mixture therethrough, which collector is configured to collect at least a portion of the soot from the second mixture.
