Abstract
A method for printing and supporting a three-dimensional (3-D) object is provided. The method of printing can include dispensing a first interface material for the construction of the three-dimensional object, dispensing a second interface material to form a support structure for supporting the three-dimensional object and dispensing a third interface material which may be used to separate the support structure from the 3-D object Disclosed also a method for producing a 3-D model containing various kinds of inserts.
Claims60
A method for building three-dimensional objects, said method comprising:
- dispensing a first material used to form at least the three-dimensional object;
- dispensing a second material used to form at least part of a support structure;
- and
- dispensing a third material between said 3-D object and said support structure to form a release layer.
A system for building three-dimensional objects, said system comprising:
- a controller, and
- a jetting head capable of selectively dispensing:
- a first material used to form at least the three-dimensional object;
- a second material used to form at least part of a support structure;
- and
- a third material between said 3-D object and said support structure used to form a release layer.
A method for building three-dimensional objects, said method comprising:
- dispensing a curable build material to form the 3-D object and part of the support structure;
- dispensing a support material to form part of the support structure, the build material being solid after curing and the support material being liquid after curing;
- and
- forming a support structure comprising a container capable of holding said support material
A system for building three-dimensional objects, said system comprising:
- a controller;
- and
