The invention is related to the production of pet preform and similar plastic products, as well as similar-shaped metallic pieces manufactured by plastic injection.

A system and method for providing centrifuge-based additive object manufacturing includes a rotating drum containing a material that solidifies when irradiated by a light source, the material spreads evenly over an item being manufactured when the rotating drum is in motion, a light source module emitting a light capable of solidifying the photopolymer material, and a material delivery module for adding a controlled amount of the photopolymer material into the rotating drum. The light source module moves inside the rotating drum and selectively emits its light solidifying the part of the layer in the areas crossing the object currently being manufactured.

An additive manufacturing system includes a rotating drum defining an inner surface, wherein the additive manufacturing system is configured to build a manufactured object on the inner surface of the rotating drum; a material depositation module configured to deposit a controlled amount of a powder material into the rotating drum, the powder material deposited in a plurality of layers to form the manufactured object; and a light source module comprising a laser, the laser emitting a light capable of solidifying the powder material; wherein the light source module moves within the rotating drum and selectively emits the light to solidify each of the plurality of layers of the powder material onto the manufactured object in the order that the plurality of layers are deposited.
