The method includes ii) forming an additional layer on the first layer, including at least one material chosen from the article material, the support structure material and the interfacial material. The method also includes iii) repeating ii) one or more times to form a three-dimensional build may include an article and at least one support structure attached to the article at an interface, the interface may include the interfacial material formed during one or more of i), ii) or iii), the interfacial material may include a polymer. An additive manufacturing system includes a controller operatively connected to a reservoir, an ejector, and an actuator, the controller being configured to perform the method and form a printed article.",
