An additively manufacturable energetic material comprising:
- a liquid optically curable binder;
- and
- an energetic material suspended in the liquid optically curable binder.
A method of producing an additively manufactured energetic article, the method comprising:
- providing a liquid optically curable binding material;
- mixing an energetic material with the liquid optically curable binding material;
- extruding a first layer of the energetic material-binding material mixture;
- emitting a light having a predetermined wavelength characteristic on the first layer;
- and
- curing the first layer with the light.
