Abstract
A three-dimensional (3D) metal object manufacturing apparatus selects operational parameters for operation of the printer to form vias in substrates. The apparatus identifies the bulk metal being melted for ejection and uses this identification data to select the operational parameters. The apparatus identifies the via holes in the substrate and positions an ejector opposite the via holes to eject drops of melted bulk metal toward the via holes to fill the via holes.
