Binder jetting is an additive manufacturing process in which an industrial printhead selectively deposits a liquid binding agent onto a thin layer of powder metal particles to build high-value parts and tooling.
Process Name
Binder Jet Metal Additive
Applications
Cast part replacements, customized designs, tooling
Advantages
No thermal stresses as heat is not used to fuse the powder. Can process many parts, without support structures, in a single batch.
Limitations
Requires post printing steps including depowdering and sintering. Smooth surface finish requiremenst may need post processing
