Abstract
A build plate for 3D printers that facilitates separation of the workpiece from the build plate and yet provides lateral anchoring of the unit cell. The build plate comprises (1) a foundation of a material that the unit cell material will not adhere to or will only weakly adhere to, and (2) a plurality of adhesive islands that provide a lateral anchor for the unit cell. An adhesive island is a hole in the foundation of the build plate that is filled with a plug of material to which the unit cell material will strongly adhere. The number, type, location, and size of the adhesive islands is tailored to provide enough lateral stability where needed, but not more.
