Claim 0:
1. A support apparatus for use in conjunction with an ALM system having a printing head being movable with respect to the support apparatus, said support apparatus comprising:
a dynamic surface configured to support a printed 3D item thereon during fabrication thereof by the printing head, the dynamic surface being manipulable between a first position, at which the dynamic surface has a first concavity with respect to the printing head, and a second position, at which the dynamic surface has a second concavity with respect to the printing head, the second concavity being greater than the first concavity; and
a manipulating mechanism operable to induce manipulation the dynamic surface at least from the first position to the second position, wherein the support apparatus comprises two curvature enabling members, each associated with a respective lateral side of the dynamic surface and configured to enable the manipulating mechanism to increase the curvature of the dynamic surface thereby.
