Abstract

An additive manufacturing system (30) for printing three-dimensional (3D) parts includes a print foundation (36) , a print head (40) , a drive mechanism, and a supporting surface (700) that creates an air bearing (710) for parts under construction as they move through the system. The print head is configured to print a 3D part onto the print foundation in a layer-by-layer manner in a vertical print plane. The drive mechanism is configured to index the print foundation substantially along a horizontal print axis during printing of the 3D part. The support surface is provided by a table extending along the horizontal axis. The table has a plurality of air jets forming an air platen, which generates the air bearing for supporting the 3D part as it is incremented along the print axis.
