An apparatus and method for fabricating integral three-dimensional objects from successive layers of deformable and photoformable compositions by exposing the layers of the composition through a tensioned, elastomeric transparent film, in a way that the weak bonds between the film and each newly solidified layer are broken by changing the tension on the film, thus allowing a new layer of deformable composition to be introduced between the film and the solidified layer.

In a method for fabricating an integral three-dimensional object by imagewise exposing successive layers of a deformable and photoformable composition to actinic radiation, said method including placing the composition in a vessel containing a platform, the improvement in said method comprising positioning a transparent elastomeric non-adhering film within the composition at a distance equal to the thickness of one layer from the platform, subjecting the elastomeric film to a first tension, exposing imagewise the photoformable composition contained between the film and the platform to radiation through the transparent elastomeric film in order to form a solidified layer, subjecting the elastomeric film to a second tension, the difference between the first and the second tensions being adequately high to overcome the adherence between the film and the solidified layer, increasing the distance between the platform and the film by the thickness of a layer, causing the deformable composition to flow over the solidified layer, and repeating the same steps until the integral three-dimensional object is formed. A method for fabricating an integral three-dimensional object from successive solidified layers of a deformable and photoformable composition comprising the steps of: (a) placing the composition in a vessel containing a substantially flat platform; (b) positioning within the composition on top of the platform at a distance equal to the thickness of a layer, a transparent, elastomeric and non-adherent film having a first and a second surface, the first surface being opposite and parallel to the second surface, the first surface being disposed in a way to prevent wetting of said first surface by the composition, and at least part of the second surface being disposed in a way to be in contact with the composition; (c) subjecting the elastomeric film to a first tension, in a direction substantially parallel to the first and second surfaces of the film; (d) exposing imagewise the photoformable composition contained between the film and the platform to radiation through the transparent elastomeric film, in order to form a solidified layer, with the requirement that the radiation is high enough to cause higher adherence between the solidified layer and the platform than between the film and the solidified layer; (e) subjecting the elastomeric film to a second tension, in a direction substantially parallel to the first and second surfaces of the film, the absolute value of the difference between the first and the second tensions being adequately high to overcome the adherence between the film and the solidified layer; (f) increasing the distance between the platform and the original position of the film by the thickness of a layer; (g) causing the deformable composition to flow over the solidified layer; (i) subjecting again the elastomeric film to the first tension, in a direction substantially parallel to the first and second surfaces of the film; (j) exposing imagewise the photoformable composition contained between the film and the solidified layer to radiation through the transparent elastomeric film, in order to form a new solidified layer, with the requirement that the radiation is high enough to cause higher adherence between the newly solidified layer and the previously solidified layer than between the film and the newly solidified layer; (k) subjecting the elastomeric film to the second tension, in a direction substantially parallel to the first and second surfaces of the film, the absolute value of the difference between the first and the second tensions being adequately high to overcome the adherence between the film and the solidified layer; (1) repeating steps (f) through (k) until the integral three-dimensional object is formed.
