Title: Method and apparatus for fabricating ceramic and metal components via additive manufacturing with uniform layered radiation drying

Abstract

A freeform extrusion fabrication process for producing three-dimensional ceramic, metal and functionally gradient composite objects, including the steps of filling a plurality of paste sources with a respective plurality of aqueous paste compositions, operationally connecting respective syringes containing respective aqueous paste compositions to a mixing chamber, moving a first aqueous paste composition from a first respective paste source into the mixing chamber, moving a second aqueous paste composition from a second respective paste source into the mixing chamber, mixing the first and second aqueous paste compositions to define a first admixture having a first admixture composition, extruding the first admixture onto a surface to define an extruded layer having a first admixture composition, surrounding the sides of the extruded layer with an oil bath, radiatively drying the extruded layer.
