ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus, where high viscosity liquids, including pseudoplastic, plastic flow, and thixotropic liquids, as well as gels, semi-solid, and solid materials are viscosity reduced during coating and allowed to increase in viscosity during imaging steps, for use in Solid Imaging applications. Use of these materials and the apparatus improves coating uniformity and final object tolerances.
