摘要
A method and apparatus for forming a three-dimensional article includes dispensing build material and thermally normalizing predetermined portions thereof at predetermined intervals during construction of the article. The thermal energy may be provided by a heated body (87) advanced adjacent to or in contact with the surface portions (212). Thermal energy may also be supplied by a radiation source.
