Abstract:
A support structure is formed from a support material below a printed object that shrinks similarly to a build material of the printed object during processing in a furnace.

Claim (Index 1):
An article comprising:\n an object formed of a build material including a metal powder sinterable into a final dense part and a binder system including a polymeric binder that carries the metal powder into position within a print and retains the metal powder in a net shape for the object during a fused filament fabrication process, wherein the binder system has a metal loading with the metal powder of at least fifty percent by volume; a support structure underneath the object and formed from a support material to provide a physical support to the object during printing and sintering, wherein the support structure supports the object where there is no underlying physical surface of the object upon which a material can be deposited during fabrication, and further wherein the support structure shrinks similarly to the build material during processing in a furnace; and an interface material between the object and the support structure, the interface material including a ceramic that will not sinter under time and temperature conditions used to sinter the build material in the object.
