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