Abstract: A service station system for a three-dimensional printing system comprises: a bath, having a fast-release connector at a front side thereof, and a hinge at a back side thereof for hingebly connecting an open top of the bath to a surface of the three-dimensional printing system; and a wiper assembly, having a wiper device detachably connected to a wiper base mounted on a rotatable axis passing through the bath. The wiper device wipes a dispensing face of the printing head of the three-dimensional printing system while the head reciprocally moves above the bath between the back side and the front side. The service station system can also comprise a motor for rotating the axis.

Abstract: A system for three-dimensional printing comprises an array of nozzles for dispensing building materials, a work tray (12/360) and a jig (402) configured for affixing a fabric (420) to the work tray. A computerized controller operates at least the array of nozzles to dispense a building material in a configured pattern corresponding to a shape of an object on the affixed fabric.

Abstract: A system for three-dimensional printing is disclosed. The system comprises: a rotary tray configured to rotate about a vertical axis; a printing head, each having a plurality of separated nozzles; and a controller configured for controlling the inkjet printing head to dispense, during the rotation, droplets of building material in layers, such as to print a three-dimensional object on the tray.

Abstract: A method of 3D printing to achieve a desired surface quality on at least one surface of a 3D printed object comprising selecting a base surface having the desired surface quality; and printing the 3D printed object on the base surface, so that the desired surface quality is imparted to one surface of the 3D printed object during printing. The surface quality may be glassiness, roughness, smoothness and texture in general. Objects may thus be manufactured in which electronic components are integrated in or under a glass-like surface.
