Methods and apparatuses for making laminated objects from composite materials are shown and described. An adhesion reducing material is applied with a moving printhead to the interfaces between object sections and waste sections of the layers of the objects to facilitate damage-free removal of the waste sections from the object sections. A rotating build platform allows the objects to be formed with the fibers of adjacent layers oriented at non parallel rotational orientations relative to one another. In certain examples, the adhesion reducing material is applied between opposing surfaces of layers wherein one surface is an object surface and the opposing surface is a waste surface. An infrared preheater preheats the side of a current layer being applied to a previous layer to a temperature sufficient to cause the composite adhesive to bond layers together. The infrared preheater and a pressure roller define a lamination assembly that traverses along a travel axis during a lamination operation.

A thin film production apparatus which includes: a substrate feeding mechanism configured to continuously feed a substrate; a substrate receiving mechanism configured to receive the substrate; a substrate conveying mechanism; a film formation roller; a first film formation source configured to form a first thin film on a film formation surface of the substrate traveling on an upstream side of the film formation roller in a substrate conveyance direction along the substrate conveying mechanism; and a second film formation source configured to form a second thin film on a roller circumferential surface of the film formation roller. The film formation roller is placed so that the second thin film is joined to the first thin film. The second thin film is formed to a greater thickness and/or at a higher deposition rate than the first thin film.

The yield of a peeling process is improved. A peeling apparatus includes a structure body with a convex surface and a stage with a supporting surface which faces the convex surface. The structure body can hold a first member of a process member between the convex surface and the supporting surface. The stage can hold a second member of the process member. The radius of curvature of the convex surface is less than the radius of curvature of the supporting surface. The linear velocity of the convex surface is greater than or equal to the speed of a rotation center of the structure body passing the stage. The first member is wound along the convex surface to be separated from the second member.
