Abstract:
The present disclosure provides three-dimensional (3D) printing methods, apparatuses, systems and/or software to form one or more three-dimensional objects, some of which may be complex. The three-dimensional objects may be formed by three-dimensional printing using one or more methodologies. In some embodiments, the three-dimensional object may comprise an overhang portion, such as a cavity ceiling, with diminished deformation and/or auxiliary support structures.

Claim (Index 16):
An apparatus for printing a three-dimensional object, comprising one or more controllers that are individually or collectively configured to\n direct a first transforming agent and a second transforming agent to print a plurality of layers of transformed material as part of the three-dimensional object, wherein the one or more controllers are configured to: (a) direct the first transforming agent to transforms a first pre-transformed material to a first transformed material that hardens into a first hardened material at a first hardening rate to form a core portion of the three-dimensional object; and (b) direct the second transforming agent to transform a second pre-transformed material to a second transformed material that hardens into a second hardened material at a second hardening rate that is slower than the first hardening rate to form a skin portion of the three-dimensional object.
