Abstract
A printer having a pump which includes an inner cavity which retains a liquid metal printing material, and a nozzle, where the nozzle is configured to eject a plurality of liquid metal drops, an actuation coil configured to supply a pulse to the liquid metal to generate an electromagnetic force upon the liquid metal, where the actuation coil supplies a pulse at a first time varying current pulse, where the electromagnetic force causes the nozzle to eject a drop of liquid metal. The actuation coil also supplies a pulse at a second time varying current pulse, where the electromagnetic force is not sufficient to eject a drop of liquid. A method for metal jetting in a printer is also disclosed where differences between the temperature in an upper portion of the pump and the temperature in a lower portion of the pump are minimized.
