Abstract: Additive manufacturing apparatus, along with methods of forming an object therewith, are provided. The additive manufacturing apparatus may include at least one build unit; a build platform (such as a rotating build platform); and a pair of collectors positioned on the apparatus such that a first collector contacts an outer surface of an object as it is formed on the build platform and a second collector contacts an inner surface of the object as it is formed on the build platform.

Abstract: A user configurable modular building system is provided. The user configurable modular building system includes a plurality of assemblies, a plurality of units, and a plurality of blocks. The plurality of assemblies includes a plurality of building components that perform building functions. Assemblies are selected from the plurality of assemblies to form a plurality of units. The plurality of units includes studio, one bedroom, and two bedroom units with different layouts of the selected assemblies. Units are selected from the plurality of units to form a plurality of blocks. The blocks are portions of a building. Blocks are selected to form the building based on a mix and layout of units. A method of designing a building system and a non-transitory computer-readable medium configured to perform steps to design a building system are also provided.
