Abstract
A three-dimensional (3D) printing structure that includes an object and a support member is provided. The support member is located on one side of the object to support the object. The support member includes a plurality of support bricks and a filler. The support bricks are stacked together. A first portion of the filler fills the space among the support bricks, and a second portion of the filler fills the space between the object and the support bricks adjacent to the object. Accordingly, the support member of the 3D printing structure is able to support the object, and thus the object can be formed through 3D printing.
