Abstract
Systems, methods, and devices for additive manufacturing are provided. In some embodiments, an assembly for supporting 3D objects during an additive manufacturing process is provided. The assembly can include a plurality of build platforms, each build platform configured to support one or more 3D objects during the additive manufacturing process. The assembly can also include a carrier configured to support the plurality of build platforms. The assembly can further include an attachment mechanism configured to releasably couple the plurality of build platforms to the carrier during the additive manufacturing process such that the plurality of build platforms collectively form a build plane having a vertical deviation no greater than 500 μm.
