A method of three-dimensional printing, a three-dimensional printer, and a computer-readable storage medium. In an exemplary embodiment, a method for extracting a layer of build material into a carrier. The method includes providing a layer of build material onto the bed. Portions of layers of build material on a bed are digitally printed with liquid functional materials (LFM). The method repeatedly provides layers of build material and digital printing without applying energy to the LFM to define structures in the layers of build material on the bed. The layer of build material is extracted into the carrier and the carrier is removed. |
