Abstract:
Support structures are used in certain additive fabrication processes to permit fabrication of a greater range of object geometries. For additive fabrication processes with materials that are subsequently sintered into a final part, a printer is configured to further fabricate an interface layer between the object and the support structure in order to inhibit bonding between adjacent surfaces of the support structure and the object during sintering.
