  • Process for Making Three Dimensional Objects From Dispersions of Polymer Colloidal Particles
    Publication number: 20080111282
    Abstract: The present invention is a method of freeform fabrication of three-dimensional (3D) objects by depositing polymer colloidal particle based building materials in a predetermined pattern, preferably for biological and/or medical applications. The process of the present invention includes formulating a polymer colloidal dispersion for use as a building material; delivering the dispersion material to a solid freeform fabrication system, and depositing the extruded filaments in a predetermined pattern to form a three-dimensional (3D) object.
