Abstract
A method cycle of a method for layerwise production of a tangible object () comprises the successive steps of: solidifying predetermined parts of a liquid so as to obtain a solid layer () having a predetermined shape; separating said solid layer from a construction shape (); and moving, relative to one another, the separated solid layer and the construction shape to a predetermined position relative to one another. Solidifying is carried out such that the solid layer and the construction shape have nonmatching shapes in the sense that all surface portions of a solid layer side () that are or have been in contact with a liquid contacting side () of the construction shape can not simultaneously be brought in full contacting engagement with the liquid contacting side.
