Abstract

The invention provides a system (1) for additive manufacturing of a product (100) from a depositable material (101), wherein the depositable material (101) is electrically conductive, wherein the system (1) comprises a support element (10), a material addition system (20), and at least two electrodes (30); wherein the support element (10) is configured for supporting the product (100), wherein the at least two electrodes (30) comprise one or more first electrodes (31) configured at a surface (11) of the support element (10); wherein the material addition system (20) is configured for depositing the depositable material (101) at one or more of (i) the support element (10) and (ii) deposited material (102), thereby forming the product (100); wherein any one of the electrodes (30) is configured for (i) electrically contacting the depositable material (101) being deposited or (ii) electrically contacting the deposited material (102), during depositing the depositable material (101), wherein (i) the depositable material (101) being deposited in combination with at least a portion of the deposited material (102) arranged between the electrode and another one of the electrodes (30) define an electrically conductive path (35) or (ii) at least a portion of the deposited material (102) arranged between the electrode (30) and another one of the electrodes (30) define the electrically conductive path (35).
