Zusammenfassung:	Apparatus and methods for removing and/or destroying support structures associated with objects fabricated using additive manufacturing techniques are presented herein. Structural supports may be used during an additive manufacturing process to prevent deformation of a build piece (e.g., three dimensional (3D) printed structure). In some examples, a build piece may be manufactured such that the structural supports are internal to the completed build piece. However, removing the structural supports may reduce the weight of the build piece and reduce the amount of debris trapped within the build piece. Thus, certain aspects of the disclosure are directed to a hose including a bendable and elongated tube member as well as a fracturing member configured to fracture an internal support structure within an additively manufactured part. L'invention concerne un appareil et des procédés pour retirer et/ou détruire des structures de support associées à des objets fabriqués à l'aide de techniques de fabrication additive. Des supports structuraux peuvent être utilisés pendant un processus de fabrication additive pour empêcher la déformation d'une pièce de construction (par exemple, une structure imprimée en trois dimensions (3D)). Dans certains exemples, une pièce de construction peut être fabriquée de telle sorte que les supports structuraux sont internes à la pièce de construction achevée. Cependant, le retrait des supports structuraux peut réduire le poids de la pièce de construction et réduire la quantité de débris piégés à l'intérieur de la pièce de construction. Ainsi, certains aspects de la divulgation concernent un tuyau comprenant un élément de tube pliable et allongé ainsi qu'un élément de fracturation configuré pour fracturer une structure de support interne à l'intérieur d'une partie fabriquée de manière additive.
