1. An additive manufacturing system, comprising:
a plurality of manufacturing stations each performing a manufacturing step, the manufacturing stations each have a construction chamber;
a laser beam coupling device receiving a laser beam as an input beam;
a plurality of beam paths along which a light of the input beam is guided, the beam paths are simultaneously directed from the laser beam coupling device to the manufacturing stations;
a plurality of material supply devices each having a material reservoir holding a material and a lifting base moving the material; and
a plurality of material wipers, the material wipers are stationary, the material supply devices and the construction chambers are rotatable about an axis of rotation, the lifting bases are rotatable with the material supply devices about the axis of rotation and movable along a direction of the axis of rotation, the material wipers apply the material to the construction chamber when the construction chamber passes the material wipers.
