1. A method of forming a body comprising:
forming a three-dimensional body from a mixture, the mixture comprising at least 15 vol % of solid particles for a total volume of the mixture and a radiation-curable material, wherein forming includes continuous translation and growth of the body from an interface of the mixture,
wherein forming comprises selecting a power range of an applied electromagnetic radiation used for curing the radiation-curable material, wherein the power range of the electromagnetic radiation is based at least in part upon a material of the solid particles, an amount of the solid particles in the mixture, and an average particle size of the solid particles in the mixture;
the applied electromagnetic radiation has a power of at least 0.1 mW/cm2 and not greater than 250 mW/cm2; and
the interface of the mixture is adjacent to an inhibition zone of the mixture.
