Abstract

A method for making an object and an apparatus for making the object in accordance with the method is disclosed. A section of the object is formed by irradiating a layer of material with a radiation, the layer of material being disposed on a material receiving surface of a flexible element shaped by a shaping member contacting the flexible element. The radiation passes through the member and the flexible element. The member is tilted to induce a peeling separation of the member from the element.
