* The system includes a material handling device, a printer, a material delivery system, and an energy source.
* The system feeds sheets, prints on the sheets, applies powder, builds a hollow volume, and consolidates the sheets into a product with a contiguous structure.

'''Key Features and Innovation:'''
* Additive manufacturing system for creating hollow volumes without build supports.
* Integration of material handling device, printer, material delivery system, and energy source.
* Feeding sheets, printing, applying powder, building hollow volume, and consolidating sheets into a product.

'''Potential Applications:'''
* Aerospace industry for lightweight components.
* Medical field for customized implants.
* Automotive sector for complex parts.

'''Problems Solved:'''
* Eliminates the need for build supports in hollow volumes.
* Reduces material waste in additive manufacturing.
* Enables the creation of intricate structures.

'''Benefits:'''
* Cost-effective manufacturing process.
* Enhanced design flexibility.
* Improved structural integrity of products.

'''Commercial Applications:'''
Potential commercial applications include:
* 3D printing services for various industries.
* Manufacturing of specialized components.
* Prototyping and rapid production services.

'''Prior Art:'''
Readers can explore prior art related to additive manufacturing, hollow volumes, and build support removal in the field of 3D printing.

'''Frequently Updated Research:'''
Stay informed about the latest advancements in additive manufacturing techniques, materials, and applications.

'''Questions about Additive Manufacturing:'''
1. How does the system ensure the consolidation of sheets into a product with a contiguous structure?
2. What are the specific benefits of creating hollow volumes without build supports in additive manufacturing?


==Original Abstract Submitted==

systems and methods are provided for building a product by additive manufacturing and creating hollow volumes without including build supports in the hollow volume for the layers above the hollow volume. an additive manufacturing cell includes a material handling device, a printer a material delivery system and an energy source to feed the sheets, print on the sheets, apply a powder on the printed sheets, build a hollow volume into the sheets and consolidate the sheets into a product with a contiguous structure.
