12. A method of forming a part via additive manufacturing, the method comprising steps of:
delivering from an additive manufacturing material reserve a powdered additive manufacturing material including fluorine-containing polymers and a supplemental material, the fluorine-containing polymers having at least one of an electrically conductive characteristic and a static dissipating characteristic, the supplemental material including at least one of graphite, graphene, and carbon saturated in the additive manufacturing material;
delivering from a functional material reserve a powdered functional material configured to promote mixing of the fluorine-containing polymers with the supplemental material when added to the additive manufacturing material;
selectively adding, via a mixer downstream of the additive manufacturing material reserve and the functional material reserve, the functional material to the additive manufacturing material according to an electronic circuit pattern to form an additive manufacturing material mixture to enhance mixing of the supplemental material with the fluorine-containing polymers;
depositing the additive manufacturing material and the additive manufacturing material mixture onto a build platform via a deposition device downstream of the mixer such that the at least one of the electrically conductive characteristic and the static dissipating characteristic is trained in at least one of regions, portions, and areas of the part via the selective adding of the functional material according to the electronic circuit pattern; and
curing the deposited additive manufacturing material.
