- the coupling section of the treatment segment is part of a support structure, which runs at least in sections in an enclosed by a housing interior of the treatment segment. The housing itself is at least indirectly held on this support structure.
- the main advantage of the treatment segment is that it is no longer necessary to manufacture the housing as a whole with high precision, but only the central supporting support structure, which in particular carries the functional components, such as the printhead, the hardening device etc ..
- the housing can also be attached to this central support structure.
- the support structure has at least one first coupling element, on which at least two mutually spaced abutment sections are integrally formed.
- the abutment sections can be formed by milling out of a first coupling element consisting of a solid material.
- the abutment sections each have pairs of abutment surfaces which are designed such that an orientation of the treatment segment relative to the transport element in two mutually orthogonal spatial directions takes place through these abutment surfaces. As a result, an exact alignment of the treatment segment on the transport element can be achieved.

- the connecting sections project in front of the damping elements, so that these projecting sections engage in corresponding bores of the carrier section / Carrier ring can be introduced.
- the damping sections come to rest between the second coupling element and the carrier section / carrier ring, thereby making it possible to damp shocks.
- the damping elements may be formed of any elastic material, in particular rubber or contain rubber.
- the holding and centering unit or the receptacle for the holding and centering unit is arranged directly on the first coupling element.

- the damping elements 24.2 can circumferentially surround the bolt-like connecting sections 24.1, in particular such that end regions of the bolt-like connecting sections 24.1 project downward beyond the damping elements 24.2.
- the damping elements 24.2 are provided between the second coupling element 24 and the lower carrier ring 6.2 and thus can absorb in particular shocks or vibrations in the vertical direction (parallel to the y-direction).
- the treatment segment 20 in the region of the second coupling element 24, in particular in the region of the bolt-like connecting portions 24.1 are bolted to the lower carrier ring 6.2 in order to secure the treatment segment 20 against unwanted release from the transport element 6.
