Abstract
A method of producing parts from two distinct classes of materials utilizes depositing a first class material and a second class material on a deposition surface where the first class material forms a three-dimensional shape defined by the interface of the first class material and the second class material. The first class material is unified and the second class material is removed therefrom to form a three-dimensional part of the first class material. Preferably, the first and second class materials are deposited in layers.
