Abstract
Implementations of the disclosure are directed to thermally decomposable build plates that enable the facile release of 3D metal printed parts created by additive manufacturing. In some implementations, an additive manufacturing build plate comprises: a top surface, a bottom surface, and sidewalls comprised of a material, wherein the top surface, bottom surface, and sidewalls are dimensioned such that the build plate is useable in a 3D printing device; and a recessed section formed through the top surface, wherein the recessed section is configured to be filled with a solid metal or metal alloy to provide a surface for forming a 3D printed object in the 3D printing device.
