An additive manufacturing apparatus includes a support plate and a stage configured to hold a component formed of one or more cured layers of a resin. An actuator assembly is configured to change a relative position of the stage relative the support plate. A radiant energy device is positioned opposite to the stage such that it is operable to generate and project radiant energy in a pattern. A peeling device is positioned downstream of the window. The actuator assembly is configured to move the stage simultaneously with a resin support over the peeling device in an X-axis direction.

A 3D printing system comprising: a selective solidification module to: form a printed article by processing a build material; and form a printed container encompassing the printed article and a portion of unused build material about the printed article, the printed container defining a first port and a second port fluidly connected to the first port. The 3D printing system further comprises a connector to couple to the first port or second port of the printed container; and a pump fluidly connected to the connector to cause a fluid to flow through the printed container from the first port to the second port such that the printed article is cooled by the fluid flow.
