Abstract
A printer is configured with positioning members that hold components at predetermined positions to enable a controller operating at least one printhead in a three-dimensional object printer to form structure about the components. The positioning members can then be removed from the printed three-dimensional object to enable continued formation of the three-dimensional object.
