Original Abstract Submitted

methods for stabilizing additively manufactured objects are provided. in some embodiments, a method includes fabricating an object from at least one curable material using an additive manufacturing process, where the object has a maximum thickness no greater than 5 mm. the method can include surrounding the object with a packing material, where the packing material spatially constrains the object to inhibit deformation of the object. the method can further include applying energy to the object while the object is surrounded by the packing material, where the energy alters at least one material property of the object.
