摘要： Data corresponding to a desired shape of a prototype is transmitted to a rapid prototyping system. The system calculates (110) a sequence for extruding flowable material that thermally solidifies so as to create a desired geometric shape. A heated flowable modeling material is then sequentially extruded (112) at its deposition temperature into a build environment that maintains the volume in the vicinity of the newly deposited material in a deposition temperature window between the material's solidification temperature and its creep temperature. Subsequently the newly extruded material is gradually cooled (114) below its solidification temperature, while maintaining temperature gradients in the geometric shape below a maximum value set by the desired part's geometric accuracy.

摘要： The present invention is a method (10) for manufacturing a three-dimensional object. The method (10) includes receiving (14) digital information of the three-dimensional object over a communication line and building (30) the three-dimensional object based at least in part on the received digital information, where at least part of the three-dimensional object is built by rapid manufacturing, and where the three-dimensional object comprises an exterior surface. The method also includes vapor smoothing (32) at least a portion of the exterior surface of the three-dimensional object.
