Abstract
The invention relates to additive manufacturing systems and methods using thermally cross-linkable materials. The thermally cross-linkable material includes at least one thermally cross-linkable polymeric material and an amount of at least one electromagnetic energy susceptor therein. A system with at least one print head and an electromagnetic energy generator is provided to produce electromagnetic energy in the area of the thermally cross-linkable material after being dispensed from the print head. This causes heating of the electromagnetic energy susceptor to cause curing of the thermally cross-linkable material.
