  • Three-dimensional printing of reactive materials using intersecting jets
    Patent number: 11731343
    Abstract: Various examples of systems and methods are provided for three-dimensional (3D) printing of reactive materials. In one aspect, among others, a system includes a droplet generation assembly comprising a first printhead coupled to a first reservoir of reactive material and a second printhead coupled to a second reservoir of reactive material, the first and second printheads configured to produce jets of reactive material droplets; a jet alignment assembly configured to adjust orientation of the first and second printheads to align the jets of the reactive material droplets for intersection at a collision point; and a motion control assembly configured to adjust positioning of the first and second printheads and a platform configured to position a deposition location at the collision point.
