A system is described for forming three-dimensional parts from apolymerizable slurry. This liquid is delivered from a fine nozzle to buildup the component as a series of layers described from a CAD drawing of thepart. This is one of a family of solid freebody forming methods. Thelayerwise process lends itself particularly to chemically syntheizedmaterials where shrinkage and mass transport are major problems. Thetechnique also has considerable potential for combining various materialsinto a single component.
