Abstract
Provided in one implementation is a method of manufacturing a three-dimensional object. The method can include depositing a substantially uniform layer of raw material onto a substrate. The raw material can include ceramic particles. The method can include selectively fusing particles of the raw material to form a first layer of the object. The method can include clearing non-fused particles of the raw material from the first layer of the object. The method can include repeating the steps of depositing a raw material, selectively fusing particles of the raw material, and clearing non-fused particles of the raw material to form additional layers of the object above the first layer.
