Original Abstract Submitted

a method for additive manufacturing and an additive manufacturing apparatus are provided. the method includes disposing a nozzle of a print head of an additive manufacturing system over a location on a substrate. an ink composition from the nozzle is deposited onto the location of the substrate while moving the nozzle away from the substrate to increase a distance therebetween, thereby forming a portion of a structure on the location. the method includes repeatedly, as necessary to increase a distance the portion of the substrate protrudes from the substrate, performing the following over the location: moving the nozzle away from the substrate while not depositing the ink composition, moving the nozzle towards the substrate, and dispensing the ink composition from the nozzle onto the structure while moving the nozzle away from the substrate.
