    Abstract: According to one example, there is provided apparatus for restraining objects during a powder and object separation process. The apparatus comprises a base plate comprising a set of spatially arranged apertures, a set of rods, each rod slidable within a corresponding aperture of the base plate. The base plate is to connect with a chamber to contain a volume of powder and objects to be separated and the apparatus is configured such that, when the apparatus is connected to a chamber containing a volume of powder and 3D objects the set of rods are positionable in, or are slideable into, a position extending vertically away from the chamber, and as powder is removed from under each rod, the rods are to slide through the apertures.

    Abstract: An additive manufacturing process which comprises carrying out an additive manufacturing build process to create a build cake. The build cake comprises a build object and non-solidified build material and the build object is built in a build location within the build cake. The build cake is supported on a tray which comprises a mesh having openings therethrough. The tray also includes an object region and a restraining feature to restrain a build object within the object region. The process comprises performing a decake operation in which non-solidified build material from the build cake passes through the openings of the mesh and the object moves into contact with the tray in the object region so that the object is restrained within the object region of the tray by the restraining feature.
