Fabricating an object layer by layer, according to a digital "blueprint" downloaded to a printer, allows not only for limitless customization but also for designs of greater intricacy.
That limits the quality of many 3-D-printed products, but Carbon fabricates an object in a continuous process, avoiding some typical problems.
Two robots were trial fabricated: an object-tilting robot equipped with an outrigger mechanism and a handcart transport robot to handle the handcarts.
Material composition is defined based on voxel resolution and used to fabricate a design object with locally varying material stiffness, aiming to satisfy the design objective.
TPP typically takes from a few seconds to a few hours to fabricate a complex microscale object.
The fused-filament fabrication method involves melting a thermoplastic, followed by layer-by-layer extrusion of the molten viscoelastic material to fabricate a three-dimensional object.
In contrary to subtractive processes, in which an object is fabricated by removing of a large volume of starting material, the AM technologies, as the name suggests, are characterised by adding material, thus allowing for the manufacturing of intricate geometries and efficient use of material [ 58, 73].
One of the chief advantages of such printing is that an object can be fabricated layer by layer, says David Cawley, director of the model shop in the 3-D lab at Pasadena's Art Center College of Design, without the limitations of molds.

A "Balloon Dog (Orange)" under the Jeff Koons label — the artist does not personally fabricate the object — will appear at Christie's New York in November.
But things change when somebody decides to put a nonessential item on the market: the person looks at an object, creates an imaginary value for what it is worth and asks for the equivalent of that fabricated value in currency.
