In this paper, a mathematical model of the extrusion process in 3D printing of high-energy composites is studied. These composites are formed from polymer binder and powder with bimodal particles obtained by electric explosion technique. The main difficulty of extrusion 3D printing method is primarily linked to the high viscosity of utilized material, especially one with high concentration of particles. In this case, the viscosity of the initial mixture depends on the pressure, temperature and concentration of the filler, as well as on the particle dispersion. Under certain conditions the ignition of high-energy material in the nozzle is possible, thus the search for optimal printing parameters based on the mathematical modeling and the following experimental verification are the main purposes of the current work.
