TLDR
In this article, a system for generating 3D objects by creating a cross-sectional pattern of the object to be formed at a selected surface of a fluid medium capable of altering its physical state in response to appropriate synergistic stimulation by impinging radiation, particle bombardment or chemical reaction is presented.Abstract:
A system for generating three-dimensional objects by creating a cross-sectional pattern of the object to be formed at a selected surface of a fluid medium capable of altering its physical state in response to appropriate synergistic stimulation by impinging radiation, particle bombardment or chemical reaction, successive adjacent laminae, representing corresponding successive adjacent cross-sections of the object, being automatically formed and integrated together to provide a step-wise laminar buildup of the desired object, whereby a three-dimensional object is formed and drawn from a substantially planar surface of the fluid medium during the forming process.read more

Method, medium and apparatus for producing three dimensional figure product
TL;DR: In this paper, a three-dimensional figure is formed in situ in a medium having two active components by causing two radiation beams to intersect in the media, and dissimilar components are selected to respond to the simultaneous presence of the beams and to either react or to produce reactants which render the intersection of the two beams physically sensible or distinguishable.
