Method and plant for recovery of a processed, powdered structural material in a plant for manufacturing a three-dimensional component by selective solidification of the structural material by a beam directed onto the structural material, in which, in a construction station which includes a process chamber, the component is manufactured on a substrate plate in a construction module by layered hardening of the structural material and/or in which, in an unpacking station which includes an unpacking chamber, the component manufactured in the construction module is removed from the construction module, and the processed, non-hardened structural material is removed from the component, in which the processed structural material is collected in a collecting device by a recovery device and provided for further feeding into the process chamber for manufacturing further components, wherein the recovery device includes at least one cartridge filled with the processed structural material collected in the application device.

In one example in accordance with the present disclosure, a build material volume transportation device is described. The build material volume transportation device includes a shuttle to transport a build material volume. The shuttle includes an opening therethrough to receive the build material volume. The build material volume transportation device also includes a build tray to raise the build volume into the opening in the shuttle. The build material volume transportation device further includes a latch assembly to releasably secure the build tray to the shuttle. A tip of the latch assembly extends to interface with the aperture to secure the build tray to the shuttle. The tip rotates independently of the piston.

The invention provides an electrostatic precipitator, including: a gas inlet, supplied with gas containing dust that is a magnetic substance; a charging part, charging the dust; a collecting part, capturing the charged dust; a cleaning device, including at least one of a charging part cleaning device and a collecting part cleaning device; a magnet filter, provided downstream of the collecting part; an ozone removing filter, provided downstream of the magnet filter and removing ozone from the gas; and a gas outlet, discharging the gas in which the dust and the ozone are removed. In the magnet filter, multiple magnet plates are arranged at a predetermined interval. A downstream side of each magnet plate provided on an upper side with respect to a center is inclined downward. A downstream side of each magnet plate provided on a lower side with respect to the center is inclined upward.
