Abstract
A three-dimensional printer for generating a printed component, includes a build substrate defining a surface that supports the printed component and a heated nozzle including a nozzle body. The heated nozzle is configured to deposit a build material upon either the build substrate or the printed component. The three-dimensional printer also includes a heated plate including one or more heating elements and a main body that defines an opening for receiving the nozzle body of the heated nozzle. The one or more heating elements are configured to heat at least a portion of the heated plate to a predefined temperature, where a volume of hot air is created between the heated plate and the printed component when the heated plate is heated to the predefined temperature.
