Abstract
An additive manufacturing method and system for layerwise forming an object from a medium capable of solidification, wherein successive layers of the medium are applied using a nozzle head including a plurality of discrete nozzles being spaced apart from each other, each nozzle having an opening area through which a continuous stream of the medium is dischargeable for impinging a coverage area on a layer of the medium on a support and/or an already formed part of the object. The continuous streams are non-intersecting. The nozzle head and the support are relatively movable with respect to each other in at least one running direction.
