Abstract

The present invention relates to a fluid supply system for a 3D printer including a fluid pressure generating device for generating a pressurized fluid flow and with a fluid heating device for heating the fluid flow, wherein the 3D printer has at least one construction chamber which is delimited by a construction chamber with respect to the surroundings of the 3D printer and is sealed in a fluid-tight manner, wherein the fluid pressure generating device, the fluid heating device and the construction chamber housing are in fluid connect ion, whereby the fluid flow can flow through the construction chamber, and wherein the fluid pressure generating device, the fluid heating device and the construction chamber housing define a closed fluid circuit for the fluid flow which is heated by the fluid heating device before entry into the construction chamber.
