Zusammenfassung:A adaptive build environment to serve as a build foundation for printing 3D objects in an environment that is controlled and isolated both from outside conditions and within the print environment itself. The adaptive build environment is comprised of one or more modular panels including an active cooling subsystem having a first thermal heat sink component, a second thermal heat sink component, a convection generating device, an inner plate, an outer plate, and a gas or fluid exit. In some implementations, a segmented gas and fluid guidance system may be included in one or more of the panels of the adaptive build environment in place of, or in addition to, the second thermal heat sink. The panels of the adaptive build environment are implemented to provide steady state operating conditions for printing 3D objects.
