METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR MAKING A THREE-DIMENSIONAL OBJECT

摘要

Methods for making a three dimensional object are disclosed. The method includes positioning a nozzle of an additive manufacturing device within a support matrix, extruding a feed material through the nozzle and into the support matrix, and moving the nozzle in a three- dimensional pattern within the support matrix, while depositing the feed material, thereby forming the three-dimensional object within the support matrix. Systems for making the three- dimensional object in accordance with the methods are also disclosed.
