Methods for additive manufacturing with multilayered substrates

Abstract

Methods for additive manufacturing are provided. In some embodiments, a method includes supporting a curable material on a substrate, where the substrate includes a surface configured to contact the curable material. The substrate can include a first layer forming at least part of the surface of the substrate, the first layer including a first material configured to inhibit adhesion to the curable material, and a second layer coupled to the first layer, where the second layer includes a second material having a higher elastic modulus than the first material. The method can further include applying energy through the substrate and toward the curable material to form a portion of an object via an additive manufacturing process.
