Claim 7:
8. A structure formed from a plurality of printed layers, the structure comprising:
a plurality of printed layers stacked in a first direction, each of the plurality of printed layers comprising:
a first material domain extending in the first direction and comprising a first plurality of sub-domains having a first material formulation; and
a second material domain extending in the first direction and comprising a second plurality of sub-domains having a second material formulation different from the first material formulation, wherein:
a plurality of features are formed in the second material domain, and
at least a portion of the second material domain having a depth corresponding to a depth of the plurality of features is configured to be selectively removed by a process or force applied to a top surface of the structure at a different rate than the first material domain to regenerate a surface texture on the top surface.
