Abstract
A system and method for forming a part via additive manufacturing and powder coating the part. The system comprises an additive manufacturing system and a powder coating system. The additive manufacturing system includes a frame, support surface, material reserve, feeder, material applicator, a set of motors, and a processor. The additive manufacturing system produces a part core formed of a non-conductive low melting point material according to a computer aided design. The powder coating system includes a primer applicator, powder coating applicator, and curing apparatus. The material applicator applies a conductive primer to an outer surface of the part core. The conductive primer is then air dried. The powder coating applicator applies an electrostatically charged powder coating to the conductive primer. The curing apparatus then cures the powder coating and conductive primer without the temperature of the core of the part reaching the non-conductive low melting point material melting point.
