A system is described for forming three-dimensional parts from a polymerizable slurry. This liquid is delivered from a fine nozzle to build up the component as a series of layers described from a CAD drawing of the part. This is one of a family of solid freebody forming methods. The layerwise process lends itself particularly to chemically syntheized materials where shrinkage and mass transport are major problems. The technique also has considerable potential for combining various materials into a single component.
