Claim:
1. A method to manufacture an engineered material, the method comprising: directing two or more beams to a particular location in a three dimensional space to dissociate a feedstock substance including a gas or a vapor into constituents, the constituents including individual atoms or molecules, wherein the directing the two or more beams causes at least one of the constituents of the dissociated feedstock substance to deposit at a deposition site proximate the particular location; and forming layers of deposited constituents layer by layer in one or more dimensions to produce a material structure, wherein the forming the layers includes dissociating an additional feedstock substance into additional constituents by directing the two or more beams to a location proximate a previously deposited constituent to cause at least one of the additional constituents of the dissociated additional feedstock substance to deposit on a constituent deposition site of the previously deposited constituent, wherein— the two or more beams include at least one of a laser beam or an atomic particle beam, and the feedstock substance includes dichloroethane including a vinylhalide.
