Abstract
A method of fabricating a three-dimensional structure, the method comprises the steps of: depositing a droplet of curable ink on a substrate; curing the ink deposited on the substrate; and building up the ink in layers by repeatedly depositing a droplet of curable ink on the cured ink and curing the deposited ink, while doing at least one of a control of a contact angle between the droplet of ink to be deposited and cured ink at the landing position where the droplet of ink is to be deposited and a control of a volume of the droplet of ink to be deposited so as to satisfy the condition d≦d, where drepresents the landing diameter of a droplet of ink to be deposited and drepresents the diameter of cured ink at a landing position where the droplet of ink is to be deposited.
