In view of the current problems that energetic materials cannot meet the urgent needs of high-tech weapons and equipment for multi-mode, special-shaped and gradient charging, additive manufacturing technology for energetic materials is developed. Firstly, the concept, basic principle and technical characteristics of additive manufacturing technology were introduced. Then,the research progress of additive manufacturing technology in energetic materials, including initiating explosive devices, gun propellants, rocket propellants, mixed explosives and thermites, was described respectively based on the related research at home and abroad. The basic problems, such as adaptive formula design, special device/software development, online monitoring of safety/quality, etc. which limited the development of additive manufacturing technology of energetic materials were furtherly analyzed. Finally, the future development of additive manufacturing technology for energetic materials was prospected, and it was pointed out that it was necessary to take the gradient structure-function combining design idea as the starting point, and develop a new mechanism of 4D printing for energetic materials under intelligent, cross-scale and extreme conditions, so as to provide technical support for the development of weapons and equipment with adjustable power and controllable motion.
