Abstract
A method for making an object and an apparatus (100) for making the object in accordance with the method is disclosed. A section (124) of the object is formed by irradiating a layer of material (104) with a radiation (116), the layer of material being disposed on a material receiving surface (102) of a flexible element (101) shaped by a shaping member (110) contacting the flexible element (102). The radiation (116) passes through the member (110) and the flexible element (101). The member (110) is tilted to induce a peeling separation of the member (110) from the element (101).
