Binder Jetting is an additive manufacturing technology which makes it possible to produce highly-complex parts in a wide range of materials, by selective binder deposition on a pre-deposited powder bed.
It is a versatile technology, capable of printing parts with a wide variety of shapes and internal characteristics. The sintering cycle can be adjusted, allowing us to produce a full range of densities, from full to highly porous. Moreover, producing infiltrated parts or using agglomerated powder parts is now possible as they are directly produced by the printing process.
The printing process is divided into different stages:
- Powder bed laying: the binder is selectively deposited to form the layer.
- Printed layer drying and downward movement of the powder bed according to the desired layer thickness.
This cycle is repeated until all layers which make up the part are formed. Once finished, the binder is left to cure, providing structural stability to parts. Finally, the parts are removed from the powder bed and sintered at high temperature to achieve good density.
