Paste composition for additive manufacturing

A method for producing a three-dimensional shaped article of a material of interest using additive manufacturing, the method including

• feeding an additive manufacturing paste composition directly to a nozzle and dispensing from said nozzle on a print surface, interconnected filaments of paste composition in a predetermined arrangement in a plurality of consecutive stacked layers to form a green structure, and
• immediately upon said dispensing, drying the green structure to obtain the three-dimensional shaped article,
• wherein the filaments of the consecutive layers are connected to one another at least at contact points between filaments of consecutive layers,
• wherein said paste composition is manufactured by mixing
• 70-99.8 wt. % with respect to the weight of the composition of particles of the material of interest, the material of interest being one or more compounds selected from the group of metals and metal alloys and mixtures thereof,
• at least one binder component,
• at least one additive component, which is a lubricant,
• one or more solvents which are miscible with each other,
• wherein the sum of the concentration of the at least one additive component and the at least one binder component is between 0.06 wt. % and 10.0 wt. %, with respect to the weight of the composition, and wherein at least one of the additive component and the binder component or a mixture thereof is shear-thinning.
