Classification: CPC B  Y | IPC B

Claim 11:
12. The fabricating apparatus according to claim 1,
wherein
the fabrication liquid with the first kinetic energy are first droplets,
the fabrication liquid with the second kinetic energy are second droplets,
the processing circuitry is further configured to
discharge the second droplets such that at least some of the second droplets overlap contact points of the first droplets, the contact points being on the powder layer, and
discharge the first and second droplets in separate, discrete discharges,

the first droplets are configured to solidify an upper partial portion of the powder layer, and
the second droplets are configured to solidify the powder layer below the upper partial portion of the powder layer and form a fabrication layer of a three-dimensional fabricated object.
