Abstract
A method of printing a three-dimensional object is provided. The method includes selectively dispensing, layer by layer, one or more materials to form the three-dimensional object; selectively dispensing, layer by layer, one or more materials to form a support construction for the three-dimensional object; selectively dispensing, layer by layer, one or more materials to form a rigid exterior construction around at least part of the support construction, the rigid exterior having substantially similar strength and elasticity to the three-dimensional object; and forming a release construction around the rigid exterior construction, the release construction being between the rigid exterior construction and the three-dimensional object.

A method of printing a three-dimensional object, the method comprising:
- selectively dispensing, layer by layer, one or more materials to form the three-dimensional object;
- selectively dispensing, layer by layer, one or more materials to form a support construction for the three-dimensional object;
- selectively dispensing, layer by layer, one or more materials to form a rigid exterior construction around at least part of the support construction, the rigid exterior having substantially similar strength and elasticity to the three-dimensional object;
- and
- forming a release construction around the rigid exterior construction, the release construction being between the rigid exterior construction and the three-dimensional object.
