Abstract
A method for printing a three-dimensional (3D) article is provided by the present disclosure. The method includes induction heating, by an induction head assembly, a magnetic material to form an alloy melt. The induction head assembly includes a nozzle and an induction heater that heats the magnetic material. The method further includes including the alloy melt from the nozzle onto a base, and tracing a predetermined pattern on the base with the alloy melt to form a three-dimensional article.
