Additive manufacturing apparatus, system and method

Abstract

A system and method for providing centrifuge-based additive object manufacturing includes a rotating drum containing a material that solidifies when irradiated by a light source, the material spreads evenly over an item being manufactured when the rotating drum is in motion, a light source module emitting a light capable of solidifying the photopolymer material, and a material delivery module for adding a controlled amount of the photopolymer material into the rotating drum. The light source module moves inside the rotating drum and selectively emits its light solidifying the part of the layer in the areas crossing the object currently being manufactured.
