Abstract
An apparatus and a method are provided for printing or building three-dimensional object. The method and apparatus may, for example, dispense material from a printing head to form a layer of an object being built, and alter the thickness of a layer of the dispensed material to a pre-determined height using an object correcting apparatus. Excess material may be efficiently removed, and may be hardened before disposal, for example, using radiation and/or cooling. The object correcting apparatus may include, for example, a roller and a cleaning apparatus to remove material from the roller. The roller may operate at selected speeds and directions, and may be heated and/or cooled, to help in effectively altering dispensed material.
