Abstract
A three dimensional modelling system comprising means for providing coordinate information with respect to a three-dimensional element and means responsive to said coordinate information by providing a three-dimensional physical model of said three-dimensional element by sequentially solidifying a plurality of layers of a first material and including means for adding to each layer of said first material, prior to solidification of a subsequent layer of the first material thereover, a second material.
