METHOD OF FORMING MULTI-LAYER SINTERING OBJECT SUPPORT STRUCTURE

Abstract:

Support substrates are used in certain additive fabrication processes to permit processing of an object. For additive fabrication processes with materials that are sintered into a final part, a multi-layer support substrate of interleaved support and interface layers is fabricated to support an object while reducing an impact of friction on shrinkage of the part during the sintering process.
