Abstract:
Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed to recycle 3D build material including a 3D printer having a build platform, a vibration generator to alternately apply a first vibration mode to the build platform to move build material on the build platform in a first direction, and to apply a second vibration mode to the build platform to move the build material in a second direction and an air handler to generate an airflow to remove the build material from the build platform.
