Additive manufacturing compositions and methods for the same

Abstract

Additive manufacturing compositions and methods for fabricating a conductive article with the same are provided. The additive manufacturing composition may include a 3D printable material and a metal precursor disposed in the 3D printable material. The metal precursor may include a metal salt, a metal particle, or combinations thereof. The method may include forming a first layer of the article on a substrate, where the first layer includes the additive manufacturing composition, forming a second layer of the article adjacent the first layer, and binding the first layer with the second layer to fabricate the article. The method may also include plating a metal on at least a portion of the article to fabricate the conductive article.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
