Claim 6:
7. A three-dimensional (3D) object produced by a method of automatically preparing substrate layers corresponding to cross sections of the object, wherein the method comprises:
(a) transferring from a material feeder to a printer at least one sheet of substrate material separated from a plurality of sheets of substrate material;
(b) depositing predetermined amounts of a fluid on the at least one sheet of substrate material in preselected regions corresponding to the cross sections of the 3D object to be produced;
(c) depositing predetermined amounts of a powder onto the at least one sheet where the predetermined fluid amounts have been deposited and thereafter removing any loose powder from the at least one sheet, wherein powder amounts adhering to the regions on the sheet of substrate material correspond to the cross sections of the 3D object to be produced;
(d) removing loose powder from the at least one sheet of substrate material corresponding to the cross sections of the 3D object being produced; and
(e) stacking the at least one sheet of substrate material on a stacker.
