Abstract:
An additive manufacturing system includes a platen to support an object being manufactured, a dispenser to deliver a plurality of successive layers of a powder over the platen, and energy source configured to fuse at least a portion of the powder. The dispenser is configured to deliver the powder in a linear region that extends along a first axis. The dispenser and actuator are supported by a support structure, and the actuator is coupled to the support structure to move the support structure along a second axis perpendicular to the first axis such that the dispenser and energy source move as a single unit with the support structure and the linear region sweeps along the second axis to deposit the powder along a swath over the platen to form a layer of powder.

Claim (Index 22):
The system of  claim 21 , comprising a vertical actuator to move the support structure along a vertical axis perpendicular to the top surface, and a controller coupled to the vertical actuator, dispenser and energy source configured to cause the vertical actuator to move the support to lift the dispenser and energy source away from the top surface after each of the plurality of successive layers is delivered.
