Claim Text:
1. A metal deposition method, comprising: initially jetting metal material to form a first layer of metal material through an array of nozzles arranged in a plurality of lines with each succeeding nozzle in each line being arranged behind a prior nozzle in the same line, with reference to a scan direction on a substrate; controlling metal deposition such that the array of nozzles is enabled to deposit metal material to form a second and third layer of metal material in overlap with the first layer of metal material; and subsequently jetting metal material toward the substrate multiple times using the same array of nozzles in order to form a number of additional layers of metal material on top of previously deposited metal material atop the substrate, wherein the number of additional layers depends on a desired height.
