Additive manufacturing system having rotating support platform with individual rotating build bed

A processing machine for building an object from a material, the processing machine comprising:

• a support platform;
• a platform mover that rotates the support platform in a platform rotation direction at a first angular velocity;
• a build bed that is movably coupled to the support platform, the build bed supporting at least a portion of the material;
• a bed mover that rotates the build bed relative to the support platform in a bed rotation direction at a second angular velocity;
• and
• an energy system that directs an energy beam at a first part of the build bed during a first rotation of the support platform, and directs the energy beam at a second part of the build bed during a second rotation of the support platform, such that the energy system illuminates a material layer on the build bed during two rotations of the support platform to form at least a portion of the object, wherein the first part is different from the second part.

A processing machine for building an object from a material, the processing machine comprising:

• a support platform;
• a platform mover that rotates the support platform in a platform rotation direction about a platform rotation axis at a first angular velocity;
• a build bed that is movably coupled to the support platform, the build bed supporting at least a portion of the material;
• a bed mover that rotates the build bed relative to the support platform in a bed rotation direction about a bed rotation axis at a second angular velocity, the bed rotation axis being substantially parallel to and positioned spaced apart a build bed distance away from the platform rotation axis;
• and
• an energy system that directs an energy beam at the material on the build bed to form at least a portion of the object, the energy system including an energy source that directs the energy beam to illuminate an energy zone on the build bed;
• and
• wherein a center of the energy zone is positioned at an off-axis position relative to the bed rotation axis.
