Additive manufacturing system with rotary powder bed

A processing machine comprising:

• a support device including a support surface;
• a drive device which drives the support device so as to move a specific position on the support surface along a moving direction;
• a powder supply device which supplies a powder to the support device which moves, and forms a powder layer;
• and
• an irradiation device which irradiates the layer with an energy beam to form a built part from the powder layer,
• wherein the irradiation device changes an irradiation position where the energy beam is irradiated to the powder layer along a direction crossing the moving direction.

A processing machine comprising:

• a support device including a support surface;
• a drive device which drives the support device so as to move a specific position on the support surface along a moving direction;
• a powder supply device which supplies a powder to the support device which moves, and forms a powder layer;
• and
• an irradiation device including a plurality of irradiation systems which irradiate the layer with an energy beam to form a built part from the powder layer,

An additive manufacturing system for making a three dimensional object from powder, the additive manufacturing system comprising:

• a powder bed;
• a powder depositor that deposits the powder onto the powder bed;
• and
• a first mover that rotates at least one of the powder bed and the powder depositor about a rotation axis while the powder depositor deposits the powder onto the powder bed.

An additive manufacturing system for making a three dimensional object from material, the additive manufacturing system comprising:

• a material bed;
• a material depositor that deposits molten material onto the material bed to form the object;
• and
• a mover that rotates at least one of the material bed and the material depositor about a rotation axis while the material depositor deposits the molten material onto the material bed.

A processing machine for building a part, the processing machine comprising:

• a support device including a support surface;
• a drive device which moves the support device so a specific position on the support surface is moved along a moving direction;
• a powder supply device which supplies a powder to the moving support device to form a powder layer during a powder supply time;
• and
• an irradiation device which irradiates at least a portion of the powder layer with an energy beam to form at least a portion of the part from the powder layer during an irradiation time;
• and
• wherein at least part of the powder supply time and the irradiation time are overlapped.

A processing machine comprising:

• a support device including a non-flat support surface;
• a powder supply device which supplies a powder to the support device and which forms a curved powder layer;
• and
• an irradiation device which irradiates the layer with an energy beam to form a built part from the powder layer.
