Abstract
An electrochemical additive manufacturing method includes positioning a cathode portion of a build plate and a deposition anode array into an electrolyte solution. The method additionally includes transmitting electrical energy from the power source through one or more deposition anodes, through the electrolyte solution, and to the cathode portion such that material is deposited onto the cathode portion. The build plate includes a thermal feature, the deposited material is thermally coupled with the thermal feature, and the deposited material forms a heat wicking feature.
