Abstract

An additive manufacturing apparatus includes a process chamber housing enclosing a process chamber. The process chamber housing includes a first separable process chamber housing portion and a second separable process chamber housing portion. The first separable process chamber housing portion includes a top of the process chamber housing and the second separable process chamber housing portion includes a bottom of the process chamber housing. The first separable process chamber housing portion meets the second separable process chamber housing portion at a junction that extends about a periphery of the process chamber housing portion in a closed configuration. The process chamber housing has an open configuration where the first separable process housing portion and the second separable process housing portion are separated to provide an access spacing between the first separable housing portion and the second separable housing portion.
