    Abstract: A modeling apparatus (10) includes a platform (14) and a substrate (16), which are adapted to be releasably locked together to provide a surface for building up models in an additive-process three-dimensional modeling machine (12). The substrate (16) comprises a substantially rigid, non-dusting tray (50) providing a modeling surface (52). Male connectors extending from the tray are seated in male connectors in the platform (14), to engage the substrate (16) to the platform (14). The engaged substrate (16) is locked to the platform (14), maintaining accurate positioning of the substrate (16) while a model is built. After modeling is complete, the substrate (16) is released from the platform (14), the model is removed, and the substrate may be reused.
