Abstract: A method for generating 3D objects includes providing a web of material, printing an image by inkjet printing in which the image corresponds to a section in a plane of the 3D object to be generated, applying a powder to the portion of the web of material that is provided with the image, cross-cutting the printed web of material into sheets, stacking the sheets on a stack of sheets, repeating the printing, powder application, cross-cutting and stacking steps, pressing the stack of sheets and exposing the object. 3D objects can be manufactured quickly, inexpensively and precisely with the method.
