摘要
A method and apparatus for the accurate formation of a three- dimensional article comprises providing a supply of substantially uniform size droplets of a desired material wherein each droplet has a positive or negative charge. The supply of droplets is focused or aligned into a narrow stream by passing the droplets through or adjacent an alignment means which repels each droplet toward an axis extending through the alignment means. The droplets are deposited in a predetermined pattern at a predetermined rate onto a target to form the three-dimensional article without a mold of the shape of the three-dimensional article. A supply of support material is provided in a predetermined pattern adjacent the deposited droplets. The support material receives a further supply of droplets which form a part of the three-dimensional article.
