A process for building three-dimensional objects (42) based on electrophotographic printing is disclosed, comprising the steps of depositing a first layer of powered base material on a substrate (43), operating an imaging member (20), a charging device (15), an image generating device (10) and an image developing device (30) in that order, to deliver and deposit filler material onto the layer of powered base material in an image-wise manner to produce a layer of bonded base material that correspond to the first cross-section of the three-dimensional object (42) being built, repeating all the above steps for as many times as required to form successive layers that constitute the three-dimensional object, said filler material further causing adjacent layers to be bonded with one another; and removing unbonded material to cause the three-dimensional object (42) to appear. |
