Abstract

A process of, and apparatus for, three-dimensional printing of an object (200) from modeling material (220) including a printing tray (170) having a surface coating (202), a carpet (210), a support material (215), a support pedestal (210), a barrier layer (230) and a temperature control unit (204).

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates to apparatuses and methods useful in three-dimensional object printing. Specifically, embodiments of the present invention relate to systems, methods, and apparatuses for helping to improve the quality of printed three-dimensional objects. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] Three-dimensional (3D) printing is a process used for the printing of three-dimensional objects, for example by printing or building parts of such objects in layers. Such 3D objects may be used, for example, for prototype parts. [0003] Various systems have been developed for three-dimensional printing, wherein material for object printing is deposited in consecutive layers according to a pre-determined configuration or in selected arrays as defined by, for example, a Computer Aided Design (CAD) system connected to the printing systems. Such materials may include materials for constructing an object and materials used for constructing support structures f...
