Zusammenfassung:	Implementations described and claimed herein provide a system and method of creating molten metal droplets. The molten metal droplets may be used for 3D printing and or additive manufacturing. The system comprises a printhead and a heat source. The heat source melts a portion of a solid metal feedstock to form a metal droplet.
