Abstract
Solid freeform fabrication (SFF) systems for producing a three-dimensional object and methods of producing three-dimensional objects are disclosed. The SFF system includes a dispensing system including an alginate-based material that includes an alginate-based powder and a binder. The dispensing system is adapted to dispense the alginate-based material.
Claims20
A method of producing a structure, comprising the steps of:
- providing an alginate-based powder;
- providing at least one binder;
- dispensing the alginate-based powder and the binder onto a build platform to form a layer of an alginate-based material;
- and
- forming a flexible three-dimensional object from the alginate-based material on the build platform.
