This disclosure relates to a hybrid support system for supporting an object (504) formed by three dimensional printing. In some embodiments, a hybrid support system includes one or more volume support structures (506), a first volume support structure of the one or more volume support structures being coupled to a base plate and to a first portion of the object. The hybrid support system further includes a partially solidified support structure (508) coupled to a second portion of the object. The hybrid support system further includes one or more reinforcement support structures (510), a first reinforcement support structure of the one or more reinforcement support structures being coupled to the base plate and to at least one of a portion of the partially solidified support structure and a third portion of the object.
