Abstract
A device may include an electrically-operated propellant or energetic gas-generating material, additively manufactured together with electrodes for producing a reaction in the material. The device may also include a casing that is additively manufactured with the other components. The additive manufacturing may be accomplished by extruding or otherwise depositing raw materials for the different components where desired. The electrodes may be made of a conductive polymer material, for example using an electrically-conductive fill in a polymer.
