A printing bed for a three-dimensional (3D) printer includes an upper surface configured to have a plurality of droplets land thereon to form a first layer of a 3D object. The printing bed also includes a support structure. In response to the 3D object having an overhang with an angle that exceeds a predetermined threshold, the support structure is configured to actuate from a first position into a second position to support the overhang.

An apparatus for concentrating light from a light source includes a plurality of lenses that are substantially aligned with one another. Each lens includes a light-receiving end configured to receive the light from the light source and a light-transmitting end configured to transmit the light from the lens to a target. The light-receiving ends are aspherical.

An apparatus for concentrating light from a light source includes a plurality of fibers that are substantially parallel with one another. Each fiber includes a light-receiving end and a light-transmitting end. The light-receiving end is configured to receive the light from the light source. The light-transmitting end is configured to transmit the light from the fiber. The light-receiving ends the fibers extend different distances from a plane that is perpendicular with respect the fibers.
