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 and a curing system. The dispensing system is adapted to dispense a radiation initiator and a build material. The radiation initiator and the build material are stored separately in the dispensing system and are dispensed separately. The curing system cures the radiation initiator and the build material after each has been dispensed.

1-15. (canceled)
A method of producing a three-dimensional object, comprising the steps of:
- providing a radiation initiator;
- providing a build material, wherein the radiation initiator and the build material are separated from each other;
- dispensing the radiation initiator and the build material onto a build platform independently, wherein the radiation initiator and the build material are commingled to form a multi-part radiation curable material;
- and
- curing the multi-part radiation curable material to produce the three-dimensional object.
