Claim 9:
10. A method, comprising:
coating a substrate with a material in a coating system to produce a coated substrate having a uniform layer of liquid polymerizable material thereon;
transporting the coated substrate to a negative printing unit and there removing portions of the liquid polymerizable material to leave an image of a layer of an article in the liquid polymerizable material remaining on the substrate;
after the portions of the liquid polymerizable material have been removed, transporting a resulting version of the coated substrate from the negative printing unit to a sample building unit;
in the sample building unit, engaging the liquid polymerizable material remaining on the substrate with a sample; and
in the sample building unit, curing the liquid polymerizable material remaining on the substrate with heat when the liquid polymerizable material is in contact with the sample.
