Abstract
System for producing three-dimensional structures on a substrate, including a machine frame having mounted thereon a replaceable unit for producing a three-dimensional structure on a substrate by a given method, a feeder and a delivery for the substrate, and at least one transport device for transporting the substrate from the feeder to the delivery device via the unit for producing the three-dimensional structure, including an electronic data processor for controlling the replaceable unit for producing the three-dimensional structure and, optionally, the transport device, and another replaceable unit for producing a three-dimensional structure on the substrate by a method which differs from the given method, the other replaceable unit for producing a three-dimensional structure on the substrate by the method which differs from the given method being mountable on the machine frame in exchange for the unit for producing a three-dimensional structure on the substrate by the given method.
