Abstract: Techniques for 3-D printing parts using spray forming are disclosed. A 3-D printer receives instructions for printing a structure, where the instructions based on a data model of the structure. The 3-D printer receives a suitable material such as a metal, plastic, or composite, and prints the structure based on the instructions using spray forming. In one embodiment, the 3-D printer employs spray forming to finish an angled surface of a 3-D printed part having a stair-stepped effect.
