Zusammenfassung:The invention relates to an additive manufacturing system for applying a powder layer to a substrate and a manufacturing method using such additive manufacturing system. The additive manufacturing system comprises a rotary manufacturing unit. The rotary manufacturing unit comprises a first manufacturing chamber and a second manufacturing chamber. The first manufacturing chamber comprises a first openable cover and the second manufacturing chamber comprises a second openable cover. The first manufacturing chamber comprises a first doctor blade configured to apply a powder layer on a first substrate and the second manufacturing chamber comprises a second doctor blade configured to apply a powder layer on a second substrate. The rotary manufacturing unit is configured to be rotatable into a first position in which the first manufacturing chamber is positioned for irradiating the powder layer on the first substrate and the second manufacturing chamber is positioned for enabling an opening of the second cover. The rotary manufacturing unit is also configured to be rotatable into a second position in which the second manufacturing chamber is positioned for irradiating the powder layer on the second substrate and the first manufacturing chamber is positioned for enabling an opening of the first cover.
