Abstract: An additive manufacturing system includes a build chamber with at least first and second side walls and top and bottom walls. A central deformable, thermal insulator has a first edge and a second edge, where a print head carriage is movably retained within the central deformable thermal insulator and is configured to move print heads within a build plane of the build chamber under control of a gantry. The system includes first and second dynamic thermal barriers each having a length between a proximal edge and a distal edge wherein the proximal edge is configured to be secured to the central deformable insulator and a distal edge is configured to be movably retained to the build chamber such that as the print head carriage moves laterally across the build plane, each dynamic thermal barrier moves with the central deformable insulator and print head carriage, and retains its length.

Abstract: An additive manufacturing system for forming 3D parts includes a platen, a gantry, at least one print head, and a retention device. The gantry is configured to move the platen along a vertical axis. The at least one print head is configured to extrude part and/or support material onto a sheet substrate that is positioned on a support surface of the platen. The retention device includes a frame that is configured to press two or more edge portions of the sheet substrate against the support surface of the platen when the retention device is in a lowered position relative to the platen or support surface.
