Abstract
Development of reactive polymeric materials for large scale Extrusion Deposition Additive Manufacturing (EDAM) is discussed in this article, along with preliminary test results supporting the benefits of using reactive chemistries in EDAM. The benefits include chemical reaction across bead interface, increased flexibility of toolpath planning, and reduced limitations on part size compared to thermoplastic EDAM. Practical challenges with printing tall structures and addressing health and safety concerns are also addressed.
