A three-dimensional printer includes multiple printheads for printing binder and/or colorant onto a bed of build material in a build chamber. The printheads can be mounted on a gantry that is designed for reciprocal displacement across a build chamber along a slow axis. The printheads, in turn, can reciprocally move across the gantry on a fast axis to enable displacement of the printheads along both the fast and slow axes so that the printheads can deposit binder liquid and/or colorant across the surface of a bed of build material in the build chamber.

L'invention concerne une imprimante tridimensionnelle comprenant plusieurs têtes d'impression permettant d'imprimer un liant et/ou un colorant sur un lit de matière de construction dans une chambre de construction. Les têtes d'impression peuvent être montées sur une tour de montage conçue pour un mouvement de va-et-vient à travers une chambre de construction, le long d'un axe lent. Les têtes d'impression, à leur tour, peuvent également se déplacer en va-et-vient à travers la tour de montage, sur un axe rapide, pour permettre aux têtes d'impression de se déplacer le long à la fois de l'axe rapide et de l'axe lent, de sorte que les têtes d'impression peuvent déposer un liant liquide et/ou un colorant à travers la surface d'un lit de matière de construction d'une chambre de construction.
