Abstract: An apparatus is provided which extrudes a radiation-curable construction material above a support surface with a slot die to deposit a layer of extruded construction material above the support surface. Radiation is selectively projected with a projection unit to a construction region between the support surface and the slot die, thereby curing portions of the extruded construction material. The apparatus repeats these steps are repeated until a desired object is formed by the contiguous cured portions of the construction material extending across and between the layers.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides an additive manufacturing method for manufacturing an object. The method comprises depositing successive layers of a construction material. The method comprises selectively binding first regions of each layer to form a bound shell of construction material defining an exterior of the object. The method comprises selectively binding second regions of each layer to form support portions contacting the shell and which function to internally support the shell against external forces. The present disclosure also relates to apparatuses implementing the manufacturing method, and objects manufactured by the manufacturing method.

Abstract: Device and method for manufacturing a product from a base material. The device includes a means for applying superimposed layers of base material (3) on a support (1), and a member (4) for binding together the base material in selected portions of the base material in order to form a continuous product from the base material, wherein the support, and thereby the base material, and the binding member are arranged in a mutually displaceable way in order to transfer energy to and/or deposit a medium in different positions of the base material by means of the binding member. Furthermore, the device includes a unit (17) for detecting errors in the binding member (4) and a means (18) for compensating for such errors, on the basis of detected errors, in subsequent energy transfer to and/or deposition on the base material (3).
