    Abstract: A system for additive manufacturing of a product from an electrically conductive depositable material. The system comprises a support element, a material addition system, and two electrodes. The support element supports the product, wherein the two electrodes comprise electrodes configured at a surface of the support element. The material addition system deposits the material at one or more of (i) the support element and (ii) deposited material, thereby forming the product. Any one of the electrodes is configured for (i) electrically contacting the material being deposited or (ii) electrically contacting the deposited material, during depositing of the material. (i) the material is deposited with a portion of the deposited material and arranged between the electrode and another one of the electrodes to define an electrically conductive path. Alternatively, (ii) a portion of the deposited material is arranged between the electrode and another one of the electrodes to define the electrically conductive path.
