Claim 7:
8. A method of making an object by ink jet printing, the method comprising:
jetting object material including particles to form a product structure, the object material having a first sintering temperature;
simultaneous with or prior or before to forming the product structure, jetting support material including particles, to form a support structure, wherein the support structure is jetted in a manner supporting a product structure, and wherein the support material has a sintering temperature that is greater than the sintering temperature of the object material, the jetted object and the jetted support together constituting a green part;
heating the green part to a temperature at or above the first sintering temperature and below the second sintering temperature to thereby at least partially sinter the jetted object without substantially sintering the jetted support; and
removing the substantially unsintered support from the at least partially sintered object;
wherein the object material comprises doping nanoparticles.
