Abstract
A method for creating a three-dimensional solid freeform fabrication object with non-reactive powder includes spreading a non-reactive powder on a substrate, selectively dispensing a reactive resin onto the non-reactive powder forming a mixture of reactive resin and non-reactive powder, wherein the selective dispensing of the reactive resin defines the three-dimensional object, and curing the reactive resin thereby encapsulating the non-reactive powder.
