Abstract
A method for additively manufacturing an object is provided. The method includes forming the object on a sacrificial layer of a substrate such that the object is secured to a base layer of the substrate via the sacrificial layer. The method further includes removing at least some of the sacrificial layer from the substrate so that the object is no longer secured to the base layer.
