Zusammenfassung:In one example, a build material preparation subsystem. The subsystem includes a trough to house build material deliverable to a build bed and usable to form a layer of an object fabricated by additive manufacturing. An agitating tray is slidably disposed in the trough. A linear actuator is disposed adjacent an outside wall of the trough. A drive arm has a first end portion fixedly coupled to the agitating tray and a second end portion coupled to the linear actuator. The drive arm passes over a wall of the trough.
