This invention provides an improved process for laminated object manufacture. The process includes printing on pieces of substrate (such as paper) (64) a desired cross-sectional outline (67). Printing may be carried out, for example, using a laser printer (66). The printed substrates are then bounded (70) and sufficient energy (68) is applied to the printed outline to cause each substrate to weaken at the outline. A three dimensional object can result. Such an object can be used as a model or prototype or an actual working part. |
