1. ) A three-dimensional printing equipment assembly comprising:

  • a) a three-dimensional printing build system comprising;

    a conveyor system adapted to conduct plural build modules;

    plural build modules engaged with the conveyor system, wherein the build modules are adapted to receive and temporarily retain powder from a powder layering system; and

    at least one build station comprising;

         1) at least one powder layering system adapted to form incremental powder layers within build modules; and

         2) at least one printing system adapted to apply a liquid according to a predetermined pattern to incremental powder layers within build modules;

    wherein the conveyor system repeatedly transports the build modules from the at least one powder layering system to the at least one printing system to form a three-dimensionally printed bed comprising one or more three-dimensionally printed articles in the build modules; and

    the equipment assembly excludes a printing system adapted to apply liquid to the powder according to a polar coordinate algorithm.
