High-performance thermoplastic materials are used in building a three-dimensional model and its supports, by fused deposition modeling techniques. In a preferred embodiment, the thermoplastic resin comprising used as the modeling material is selected from the group consisting of a polycarbonate resin, a polyphenylsulfone resin, and a polycarbonate/acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene resin. An amorphous thermoplastic resin which self-laminates, bonds weakly to the modeling material, has a heat deflection temperature similar to the heat deflection temperature of the modeling material, and has a tensile strength of between 5000 psi and 12,000 psi is used as a support material. In a preferred embodiment, the thermoplastic resin used as the support material is selected from the group consisting of a polyphenylene ether and polyolefin blend, a polyphenylsulfone and amorphous polyamide blend, and a polyphenylsulfone, polysulfone and amorphous polyamide blend. |
