Abstract

An apparatus, system and method for additive manufacturing. The apparatus, system and method may include a solution dispenser comprising a carrier having embedded therein particles having a size of about 1-5 microns; a jet suitable to disperse the solution from the dispenser; and a tunable heat filter suitable to burn off the carrier, and make molten the particles, as the solution passes therethrough; wherein an additive manufacturing print build receives the molten particles.

Claims (5)

1. An apparatus for additive manufacturing printing, comprising:

a solution dispenser comprising a carrier having embedded therein particles having a size of about 1-5 microns;

a jet suitable to disperse the solution from the dispenser; and

a tunable heat filter suitable to burn off the carrier, and make molten the particles, as the solution passes therethrough, the tunable heat filter comprising, at least in part, a physical filter block, and wherein an additive manufacturing print build receives the molten particles; and

an ultraviolet actuator to actuate the molten particles upon receipt at the additive manufacturing print build.
