Abstract
A method of manufacturing a conductive element is disclosed. The method being executed by an additive manufacturing system and comprises: dispensing a modeling material on a receiving medium to form a layer, and dispensing a conductive ink on the layer of modeling material to form a conductive element. In some embodiments of the invention the modeling material comprises a sintering inducing agent, and in some embodiments of the present invention a sintering inducing composition is dispensed separately from the modeling material and separately from the conductive ink.
