A key issue for high average power, normal conducting radio frequency (NCRF), photoinjectors is efficient structure cooling. To that end, RadiaBeam has been developing the use of Solid Freeform Fabrication (SFF) for the production of NCRF photoinjectors. In this paper we describe the preliminary design, developed in collaboration with JLab, of a high gradient, very high duty cycle, photoinjector combining the cooling efficiency only possible through the use of SFF, and the RF efficiency of a re-entrant gun design. Simulations of the RF and thermal-stress performance are presented, as well as material testing of SFF components.
