US12674650 - Integrated additive manufacture (AM) of explosive payloads

Integrated Additive Manufacture (AM) of explosive payloads including both energetic and non-energetic components is achieved by controlling the AM processes such that a temperature of any deposited energetic material is bounded below and away from the energetic material's onset temperature to avoid detonation or decomposition of the energetic material during manufacture. This constraint places requirements on the selection of the energetic materials, the AM processes and 3D printer systems for depositing the non-energetic materials and the final composition and density of the non-energetic components.
