Abstract
A method for the additive manufacturing of an object and a system for manufacturing an object. The method includes depositing a first foil layer, the first foil layer including a first body section, a first support section connected to the first body section, and a second support section connected to the first body section; depositing a second foil layer, the second foil layer comprising a second body section, a third support section, and a fourth support section; aligning the second foil layer and the first foil layer; and applying at least one of heat and pressure to the first foil layer and the second foil layer to form the object comprising the first body section and the second body section.
