Abstract
A process to produce models in layers is described, whereby a first material and then selectively a second material is applied in layers on a building platform and these two application stages are repeated until a desired pattern is achieved. The two materials form a solid if a suitable mixture ratio is used and the first material is a material mixture. The material mixture is at least partially prepared prior to each application stage.

38. A process for producing patterns in layers on a building platform, comprising:
-
providing a first material, the first material comprising a particulate material; providing a first reactive component; mixing the first material and the first reactive component as needed during the producing process to form a material mix; providing a second material, the second material including a second reactive component; applying the material mix to the building platform; applying the second material selectively onto the material mix creating a layer and thus causing a chemical reaction that beings to solidify the combination of the material mix and the second material; repeating the applying steps within a time before the chemical reaction completely solidifies the previous layer; and repeating the above steps until a pattern is produced. - View Dependent Claims (39, 40, 41)
