Printing System and 3D Printing Process

Abstract

A printing system for automatically producing a building part via 3D printing on a print bed, includes: a first discharge device for forming a strand of construction material at a first discharge portion of the first discharge device, wherein the first discharge device can be moved relative to the print bed in order to automatically arrange the construction material on the print bed in at least one construction material layer of the building part; and at least one second discharge device for discharging at least one functional material, different from the construction material, at a second discharge portion of the second discharge device, wherein the second discharge device can be moved relative to the print bed in order to automatically coat the at least one construction material layer, at least in portions, with the functional material in order to form at least one functional material layer of the building part. The first discharge portion and the second discharge portion are formed separately.
