Abstract

La présente invention concerne le domaine de l'impression 3D, et concerne une imprimante 3D et un procédé d'impression associé. L'imprimante 3D comprend au moins deux cartouches d'impression, un support de fixation de cartouches d'impression, un cadre mobile, une tête d'entraînement, au moins deux têtes d'impression et au moins deux commutateurs, le support de fixation de cartouches d'impression étant utilisé pour fixer les cartouches d'impression, la tête d'entraînement étant montée sur le cadre mobile, chaque tête d'impression recevant un consommable fourni par une cartouche d'impression, les têtes d'impression étant reliées de manière amovible à la tête d'entraînement par l'intermédiaire d'un premier connecteur, et chaque commutateur étant relié de manière amovible à une tête d'impression par l'intermédiaire d'un second connecteur. Le procédé d'impression consiste à déplacer, à l'aide de la tête d'entraînement, une tête d'impression reliée à la tête d'entraînement en direction d'un commutateur ; à connecter le commutateur à la tête d'impression ; à séparer la tête d'entraînement de la tête d'impression ; à déplacer la tête d'entraînement en direction de l'autre tête d'impression ; à relier la tête d'entraînement à la tête d'impression ; et à séparer le commutateur de la tête d'impression.
