摘要: A build material container outlet structure, and a build material nozzle structure is described. The build material container outlet structure comprises a connector to releasably connect to a nozzle structure of an external aspiration system. The outlet structure comprises an aspiration channel to aspire build material from a build material container to the nozzle structure of the external aspiration system. The outlet structure comprises a protrusion protruding from an inner wall of the aspiration channel, to extend into an end portion of a tube of the nozzle structure that is inserted into the aspiration channel and retain a valve element of the nozzle structure in an open configuration.

摘要: There is provided a 3D printing build material container (1). The container (1) comprises a reservoir (3) and a reinforcement structure (4). The reservoir is to hold build material. The reinforcement structure is attached to the reservoir at at least one selected location. The reservoir and reinforcement structure are to permit reconfiguration of the container from a relatively flat configuration to an in-use configuration in which the reservoir is tillable with build material.

摘要: Examples provide a build material management station (106). The station comprises: a processing unit which comprises a first conduit (150a, 150b, 152a, 152b) and at least one pump for pumping build material through the first conduit; and at least one external build material storage tank (110, 114a, 114b). The processing unit further comprises at least a first port and a second port (154a, 154b), both ports being located on the exterior of the processing unit such that the external build material storage tank can be connected to the first conduit through the first port and the external build material storage tank can be connected to the first conduit through the second port

摘要: A build material management system for a 3D printing system is described in which a non-fused purged build material port is to output purged non-fused build material from a build material transportation system. An emptying of substantially all non-fused build material from at least a portion of the build material transportation system to the non-fused purged build material port in response to a received purge signal is controlled by processing circuitry of the build material management system.

摘要: There is provided a 3D printing build material container (1). The container comprises a collapsible reservoir, (3) a relatively rigid reinforcement structure (4), a build material outlet structure (13) and a gas inlet structure (14). The reservoir is to hold build material (11). The reinforcement structure is to resist collapsing of at least one reinforced portion of the reservoir. The outlet structure is to allow build material to exit the reservoir. The inlet structure is to allow a gas to enter the reservoir.

摘要: A build material management system for an additive manufacturing system is described in which a recovered build material tank (208) and a mixing tank (212) are provided. The recovered build material tank (208) comprises an outlet and a first build material filter (218b) for separating a gas flow from a build material flow. The mixing tank (212) comprises a second build material filter (218c). The mixing tank (212) is connected to the recovered build material tank (208) via a RBMT-to-mixer conduit (286). A controller (295) is provided to couple the second build material filter (218c) to a reduced pressure interface to transport build material from the outlet of the recovered build material tank into the mixing tank (212) via the second build material filter (218b). The controller (295) controls coupling of the first build material filter (218b) to the reduced pressure interface to transport build material from a build material source into the recovered build material tank (208). A corresponding method is provided.
