1. A volume element (voxel) printing system for printing a three-dimensional object, the system comprising:

  • a first printhead group having a plurality of first printheads configured to print a first voxel layer on a substrate;

    at least one second printhead group having a plurality of second printheads downstream from the first group, the second group configured to print a subsequent voxel layer on at least part of the first layer;

    an object insertion device configured to insert an object into a cavity defined by the voxel layers;

    a conveyor to operatively convey the substrate past the printhead groups; and

    a control system to control and monitor the printhead groups, the object insertion device and the conveyor.
