Abstract
According to one example, there is provided apparatus for generating a three-dimensional object. The apparatus comprises a build material distributor movable bi-directionally in a first axis to deposit successive layers of a build material on a support, and an agent distributor movable bi-directionally in a second axis different to the first axis to deliver an agent onto selected portions of successive layers of build material.
Claims11
An apparatus for generating a three-dimensional object, comprising:
- a build material distributor movable bi-directionally along a first axis to deposit successive layers of a build material on a support;
- an agent distributor movable bi-directionally along a second axis orthogonal to the first axis to deliver an agent onto selected portions of successive layers of build material;
- a first energy source disposed on a first side of the agent distributor and movable with the agent distributor bi-directionally along the second axis;
- and
- a second energy source disposed on a second side of the agent distributor opposite the first side and movable with the agent distributor bi-directionally along the second axis.
