Abstract:
A 3-D (three dimensional) printing system is provided that includes a customized matrix having suitable material properties and geometric patterning to facilitate filling and retention of one or more filler material. The customized matrix defines the geometry and shape of the object. A filler mechanism that fills the customized matrix with one or more filler materials. The one or more filler materials retained within the customized matrix are cured or solidified to produce the object.
