1. A method of making a selected number of finished three-dimensional objects on a build platform, comprising:

  • placing a source of a first solidifiable object material in alignment with the build platform;

    forming a number of partially-formed three-dimensional objects from the first solidifiable material, wherein the number is the selected number, each partially-formed three-dimensional object has a first end attached to the build platform and a second end spaced apart from the build platform along a build axis, each partially-formed object has a removable support section comprising the first end and a first object section comprising the second end, and each second end of each partially-formed three-dimensional object is spaced apart from the build platform by the same distance along the build axis;

    placing a source of a second solidifiable material in alignment with the build platform;

    solidifying the second solidifiable material into a number of second object sections, wherein the number of second object sections is the selected number, and each second object section is connected to the second end of a corresponding partially formed three-dimensional object from the number of partially formed three-dimensional objects, thereby yielding a number of supported three-dimensional objects wherein the number of supported three-dimensional objects is the selected number;

    removing the support sections from each of the supported three-dimensional objects to yield the selected number of finished three-dimensional objects, wherein at least some of the first object sections of the finished three-dimensional objects have different build axis heights.
