A printer forms three-dimensional objects from a powder by selectively applying a binder liquid to incremental layers of the powder. The binder binds layers of the powder into solid two-dimensional cross sections of the desired object provided from memory. The printer can use dithering and halftoning techniques to shade the object and can also print in color. A filtration system removes airborne powder and recirculates the clean air. The printer also includes additional features to manage excess and airborne powder.

On fabrique des objets tridimensionnels au moyen d'une imprimante à partir d'une poudre en appliquant de façon sélective un liant liquide à des couches progressives de poudre. Ce liant fixe les couches de poudre, ce qui crée des sections transversales pleines à deux dimensions de l'objet souhaité élaboré dans une mémoire. L'imprimante peut mettre en application des techniques de juxtaposition et de demi-tons afin d'ombrer l'objet et elle peut également imprimer en couleur. Un système de filtrage enlève la poudre en suspension dans l'air et remet l'air propre en circulation. Cette imprimante peut également comporter des caractéristiques supplémentaires permettant de gérer l'excédent de poudre et la poudre en suspension dans l'air.
