Abstract:
A consumable scaffold and technique for supporting an object while it is being manufactured is disclosed. The consumable scaffold comprises a base sheet and an array of pillars that are cantilevered from one side of the sheet. The consumable scaffold resembles a bed of nails. Each pillar in the array of pillars is trimmed to a desired length and the object is manufactured by fusing thermoplastic filaments to the tips of the pillars.
