1. A method for building a three-dimensional object in a layer-by-layer manner using an extrusion-based layered deposition system, the method comprising:

  • positioning a metal part within a build chamber of the extrusion-based layered deposition system, the metal part comprising a polymer-coated surface; and

    depositing a build material on the polymer-coated surface of the metal part, wherein the deposited build material cools to form at least a portion of a layer of the three-dimensional object, and wherein an adhesion between the build material and the polymer-coated surface is greater than an adhesion between the build material and the metal part.
