Making article with desired profile

Abstract

A method of making an article such as a lens on a receiver member having a desired cross-sectional profile includes: moving the receiver member past a plurality of deposition stations, with at least two of the deposition stations having first and second sources of marking particles having different volume average diameters, and selecting at least two different deposition stations with each having different size marking particles and depositing selected amounts of different marking particles on selected different locations of the receiver member depending upon the desired cross-section of a portion of the lens, the unfused toner stack height capability of each deposition station, and the fused toner stack height capability for the fusing method. The method further includes heating the deposited marking particles to fuse the toner stack and form the article having desired cross-sectional profile.
