Abstract: A method of applying a pattern of stop-off material to a sheet is described, the pattern being stored in a computer memory; the method comprises:(a) placing the sheet (22) on a table (12) that is traversable by a printing head (14) capable of applying jets of fluid from a reservoir onto the underlying sheet,(b) supplying a suspension of stop-off material to the fluid jet reservoir and(c) traversing the printer head (14) with respect to the sheet and(d) so controlling the head that it applies jets of stop-off material to the sheet to form a pattern of stop-off material in accordance with the pattern stored in the said memory.The method finds particular use in applying stop-off material in combined diffusion bonding/superplastic forming fabrication techniques.
