Hydraulic 3d-printing system and method

A system for printing three-dimensional objects, comprising:

• a controller;
• a container assembly adapted to hermetically store a printing material, including:
• an enclosure housing a first chamber adapted to store a printing material and a second chamber adapted to receive a platform;
• a channel within the enclosure connecting a side wall of the first chamber with a side wall of the second chamber so that the first chamber and the second chamber are in fluid communication;
• and
• a structure, movable within the first chamber adapted to transfer a portion of the printing material from the first chamber to a printing area between a surface of a window and the platform in the second chamber;
• a motor coupled to the controller and configured to move the structure;
• and
• a light emitting module, in communication with the controller, configured to emit a curing light through the window to cure at least a layer of the printing material to the platform or to a cured layer of the printing material on the platform, in order to build the 3D object on the platform.

A container assembly for printing a three-dimensional (3D) object, comprising:

• a single-use enclosure housing a first chamber adapted to hermetically store a printing material and a second chamber adapted to receive a platform, wherein the second chamber is adapted to limit or prevent a rotation of the platform;
• a channel within the single-use enclosure connecting a side wall of the first chamber with a side wall of the second chamber so that the first chamber and the second chamber are in fluid communication;
• and
• a structure, movable within the first chamber adapted to transfer a portion of the printing material from the first chamber to a printing area between a surface of a window and the platform in the second chamber for receiving a curing light for curing a layer of the printing material onto the platform or onto a cured layer of the printing material on the platform, in order to build the 3D object on the platform.
