A method of making a metal bond abrasive article , the method comprising the sequential steps: a) a subprocess comprising sequentially: i) depositing a layer of loose powder particles in a confined region , wherein the loose powder particles comprise higher melting metal particles and abrasive particles, and wherein the layer of loose powder particles has substantially uniform thickness; ii) jetting a liquid binder precursor material onto at least one predetermined region of the layer of loose powder particles ; iii) converting the liquid binder precursor material into a binder material that bonds together the loose powder particles in the at least one predetermined region to form a layer of bonded powder particles; b) independently carrying out step a) a plurality of times to generate an abrasive article preform comprising the bonded powder particles and remaining loose powder particles, wherein the abrasive article preform has a predetermined shape, and wherein in each step a), the loose powder particles are independently selected, and the liquid binder precursor material is independently selected; c) separating substantially all of the remaining loose powder particles from the abrasive article preform; d) infusing the abrasive article preform with a molten lower melting metal, wherein at least some of the higher melting metal particles do not completely melt when contacted by the molten lower melting metal; and e) solidifying the molten lower melting metal to provide the metal bond abrasive article. a) a subprocess comprising sequentially: i) depositing a layer of loose powder particles in a confined region , wherein the loose powder particles comprise higher melting metal particles and abrasive particles, and wherein the layer of loose powder particles has substantially uniform thickness; ii) jetting a liquid binder precursor material onto at least one predetermined region of the layer of loose powder particles ; iii) converting the liquid binder precursor material into a binder material that bonds together the loose powder particles in the at least one predetermined region to form a layer of bonded powder particles; i) depositing a layer of loose powder particles in a confined region , wherein the loose powder particles comprise higher melting metal particles and abrasive particles, and wherein the layer of loose powder particles has substantially uniform thickness; ii) jetting a liquid binder precursor material onto at least one predetermined region of the layer of loose powder particles ; iii) converting the liquid binder precursor material into a binder material that bonds together the loose powder particles in the at least one predetermined region to form a layer of bonded powder particles; b) independently carrying out step a) a plurality of times to generate an abrasive article preform comprising the bonded powder particles and remaining loose powder particles, wherein the abrasive article preform has a predetermined shape, and wherein in each step a), the loose powder particles are independently selected, and the liquid binder precursor material is independently selected; c) separating substantially all of the remaining loose powder particles from the abrasive article preform; d) infusing the abrasive article preform with a molten lower melting metal, wherein at least some of the higher melting metal particles do not completely melt when contacted by the molten lower melting metal; and e) solidifying the molten lower melting metal to provide the metal bond abrasive article. <EOS>
