Abstract:
Systems and methods are described for fabricating a metal or ceramic component using 3D printing. A 3D printed piece is created that includes a body of the component and a support structure. While the 3D printed piece is created using a single printing material, one or more processing parameters are adjusted while printing a first sacrificial interface region coupling the body of the component to the support structure. The body of the component is separated from the support structure by applying a chemical or electrochemical dissolution process to the 3D printed piece. The adjustment to the one or more processing parameters during printing of the first sacrificial interface region creates a localized area that is less resistant to the chemical or electrochemical dissolution process than the body of the component.

Claim (Index 2):
The method of  claim 1 , wherein adjusting the one or more processing parameters while printing the first sacrificial interface region includes adjusting one or more processing parameters selected from a group consisting of temperature, time, power density, thermal cycling, and chemical environment.
