Methods for optimizing physical properties of selectively consolidatable materials, such as photoimageable materials, include mixing filler materials with the selectively consolidatable materials. The resulting compound has the desired physical property, as well as selective consolidatability. Examples of physical properties that may optimized in a selectively consolidatable compound by mixing a filler material with a selectively consolidatable material include, without limitation, coefficient of thermal expansion, rigidity, fracture toughness, thermal stability, and strength.
