Abstract

A print bed levelling system for an additive manufacturing system includes a nozzle head assembly movably arranged with respect to a substantially flat print bed member, wherein the nozzle head assembly comprises one or more nozzle bodies each having a nozzle end and a contactless sensor member disposed at a print bed engagement end of the nozzle head assembly. The contactless sensor member comprises a sensing surface in sensing engagement with the print bed member over a relative sensing distance range between a distal sensing position and a proximal sensing position.
