Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	An apparatus for the layer-by-layer formation of three-dimensional objects. The apparatus includes a gas extraction system and an enclosed working space. The working space includes a working space inlet allowing gas to enter, a working space outlet allowing gas to exit, and a build bed surface in which a the object is formed. The gas extraction system includes: a primary conduit having a first primary inlet, a first interfacing inlet, and a primary outlet connectable to an external extraction source; and a first secondary conduit having a first secondary inlet and outlet. The first secondary inlet is in fluidic communication with the working space. The first secondary outlet is in fluidic communication with the first interfacing inlet. The gas extraction system further includes a flow controller to control the flow of gas from the working space into the first secondary conduit, and thereafter into the primary outlet.
