Abstract

A method for metal jetting is disclosed. The method for metal jetting includes introducing a first gas into an outer nozzle of an ejector nozzle from a first gas source introducing an additive to the first gas from a second source, combining the additive with the first gas. The method for metal jetting also includes ejecting a droplet of molten metal printing material from the ejector nozzle. The method for metal jetting includes allowing the additive to react with the droplet of molten metal printing material to form a modified molten metal printing material.
