Abstract

A method of additive manufacturing of three-dimensional objects by sequentially dispensing and solidifying layers. The layers may include (i) stacks of model layers arranged in configured patterns corresponding to shapes of one or more objects and being made of one or more modeling materials; (ii) an intermediate layer surrounding said shapes of one or more objects and comprising at least a support material, and (iii) a flexible overlay surrounding said first intermediate layer, the intermediate layer and flexible overlay forming a flexible sacrificial structure. The model stack or stacks can be removed from the flexible sacrificial structure by application of pressure to the flexible sacrificial structure, separating the model stack from the flexible structure along the intermediate layer.
