Abstract: Adjustable guide systems and additive manufacturing systems incorporating the same are disclosed. An adjustable guide system includes a first arm support coupled to a first end of a powder distributor in an additive manufacturing system, a second arm support coupled to a second end of the powder distributor opposite the first end, a plurality of shuttles, and a plurality of guide rails. Each one of the plurality of shuttles is pivotally coupled to the first arm support or the second arm support via one or more link arms. Each one of the plurality of guide rails supports a corresponding one of the plurality of shuttles thereon and allows each shuttle to move along the respective guide rail.

Abstract: Raw material devices, systems that incorporate raw material delivery devices, and methods of supplying raw material using the raw material devices. A raw material delivery device includes a hollow body comprising a first end and a second end, the second end disposed above the first end in a system vertical direction, an inlet disposed at the first end of the hollow body, an outlet disposed at the second end of the hollow body, and a stepped passageway disposed within the hollow body between the inlet and the outlet. The stepped passageway is configured to deliver raw material via one or more steps from the inlet to the outlet.
