<p>This invention concerns an additive manufacturing method for building an object layer-by-layer. The method comprises successively depositing layers of material from a transfer member (103b) on to a build platform (102) to build an object from a resulting stack of the layers (104). Between deposition of successive layers, the deposited layers are treated to form softened or melted material onto which a subsequent layer is deposited. Each subsequent layer of material is deposited from the transfer member (103b) with sufficient pressure such that the subsequent layer is embedded into the softened or melted material. The invention also concerns apparatus for carrying out this method.</p> |
