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 a processing chamber configured to accommodate printing of the three-dimensional object; a vertically translatable platform configured to support the three-dimensional object during its printing, which platform is disposed in the processing chamber; a filtering enclosure comprising:\n (i) at least one wall enclosing a volume configured to accommodate an atmosphere, \n (ii) an inlet port disposed in the at least one wall, which inlet port is configured to facilitate ingress of a material into the volume, wherein the material comprises (1) a remainder of the printing of the three-dimensional object, or (2) a debris produced during the printing of the three-dimensional object, and \n (iii) a collection volume in the volume that facilitates collection of a filtered material and/or an exit port disposed in the at least one wall, which exit port is configured to facilitate egress of the filtered material from the volume; and \n a supportive structure configured to accommodate a filtration member having a filter and a frame that is configured to support the filter, which filtration member is (a) disposed in the volume at an angle with respect to a normal to the gravitational field vector and (b) divides the volume into an upper portion and a lower portion, which upper portion is partially defined by a fraction of the at least one wall that includes the inlet port, and which lower portion is partially defined by a fraction of the at least one wall that includes the exit port and/or the collection volume.
