Abstract

A method of producing an object through solid freeform fabrication includes selectively depositing a boundary structure that defines a surface of the object, and depositing a flowable build material within the boundary structure, wherein the flowable build material forms a portion of the object by flowing to the boundary structure.

Claims (6)

1. A method for producing an object through solid freeform fabrication comprising:

selectively depositing containment material to form a boundary structure with a high precision dispenser;

depositing a flowable object build material into said boundary structure with a low precision dispenser;

solidifying said flowable object build material;

removing said boundary structure from said object build material after said solidification of said object build material;

wherein said removing said boundary structure comprises melting said boundary structure.
