Abstract
An additive manufacturing system operates at least one ejector and an extruder to form three-dimensional objects with photopolymer material and thermoplastic material. The system operates to deposit the two materials in a layer-by-layer manner. The photopolymer material provides high resolution finishes on the objects and the thermoplastic material enables strong and stable formation of internal portions of the objects.
