Abstract
A method of additively manufacturing an object includes steps of: (1) selectively depositing build powder inside of a build contour of the object to form a build-powder section of a powder layer; and (2) selectively depositing support powder outside of the build contour to form a support-powder section of the powder layer. According to the method, the build powder includes a build-powder composition, the support powder includes a support-powder composition, and the build-powder composition and the support-powder composition are different.
