Abstract With a new ink-jet based SFF processes, the building rate can be improved dramatically compared to single laser based processes. One reason for that is the multi-jet-technology well known in ink-jet-printing. Process velocity can be additionally increased by dividing material application and geometry information transfer. Theoretically, the cross section of an object can be described only by its outline. This paper describes a new ink-jet based process reducing printing times by using a combination of creating thin shells and a rapid application of building material. (Auth abstract) [References: 4]
