The investigation in this study addresses a new additive manufacturing process, which enables the
production of multi-material parts consisting of thermosets and thermoplastics. A liquid thermoset resin will be
applied with a micro value syringe in the laser sintering (LS) system. The liquid thermoset reacts parallel to the
laser exposure of the thermoplastic powder. Therefore, in this study the UV curing and the infiltration behavior
of the thermoset will be investigated under process relevant conditions. The investigations show a strong
temperature dependent absorption of the liquid in the powder bed, whereas, the surface tension of the liquid plays
a minor role. Furthermore, the UV curing of the thermosets takes place at low interaction times and at lamp
powers between 100 and 300 mW/cm².Mechanical Engineerin
