摘要: An additive manufacturing machine (900) including a build unit (904) that is supported by an overhead gantry (912) and a method for positioning the build unit (904) are provided. A positioning system (930) includes one or more position sensors (932) that are separate from the build unit (904) and are configured for obtaining positional data of the build unit (904). The positioning system (930) may continuously track the position and orientation of the build unit (904) and the additive manufacturing machine (900) may adjust the position of the build unit (904) toward a target position.

摘要: Methods and systems for fabricating a component by consolidating a first portion of a particulate include a louvered particulate containment wall positioned around the component and a second portion of the particulate. At least one louver is coupled to the particulate containment wall adjacent at least one opening in the particulate containment wall. The particulate containment wall is positionable between a first position in which the louver prevents the second portion of the particulate from flowing through the passage and a second position in which the second portion of the particulate is able to flow through the passage. The methods include switching the particulate containment wall from the first position to the second position and allowing the second portion of the particulate to flow out of the interior space through the at least one opening.
