Abstract
A method for manufacturing precise complex three dimensional structures in which minute drops of both a product layer and a sacrificial layer are emitted from an acoustic device. The process is a two step process wherein first the three dimensional structure is built in layers which are composed of either a sacrificial layer or a product layer or some configuration of both. Once the structure has been completely built up, then the sacrificial layer is removed leaving only the complex three dimensional structure.
