摘要: A build unit for additively manufacturing three-dimensional objects may include an energy beam system having one or more irradiation devices respectively configured to direct one or more energy beams onto a region of a powder bed, and an inertization system including an irradiation chamber defining an irradiation plenum, one or more supply manifolds, and a return manifold. The one or more supply manifolds may include a downflow manifold configured to provide a downward flow of a process gas through at least a portion of the irradiation plenum defined by the irradiation chamber, and/or a crossflow manifold configured to provide a lateral flow of the process gas through at least a portion of the irradiation plenum defined by the irradiation chamber. The return manifold may evacuate or otherwise remove process gas from the irradiation plenum defined by the irradiation chamber.

摘要: An additive manufacturing (AM) system includes a housing defining a chamber, a build platform disposed in the chamber at a first elevation, and a lower gas inlet disposed at a second elevation and configured to supply a lower gas flow. The AM system includes a contoured surface extending between the lower gas inlet and the build platform to direct the lower gas flow from the second elevation at the lower gas inlet to the first elevation at the build platform, where the contoured surface discharges the lower gas flow in a direction substantially parallel to the build platform. The AM system also includes one or more gas delivery devices coupled to the lower gas inlet to regulate one or more flow characteristics of the lower gas flow, and a gas outlet configured to discharge the lower gas flow.

摘要: The present disclosure relates to the manufacture and use of an additive manufacturing (AM) system that employs a spacer flow guide disposed or formed within a housing that defines a chamber of the AM system. The spacer flow guide may direct various portions of a gas flow within the chamber to respective exhaust channels. For example, in combination with portions of the housing, the spacer flow guide may define a main exhaust channel that extends between the chamber and a gas outlet formed in a downstream end of the housing. Additionally, a bypass exhaust channel may be defined between the chamber and a back surface of the spacer flow guide to fluidly couple an upper portion of the chamber to the main exhaust channel.
