Binder jetting is an additive manufacturing (AM) process that uses a printhead to selectively deposit a liquid binding agent onto a powder bed. The binding agent acts as an adhesive, fusing the powder particles together to create a solid object. The process is repeated layer by layer, until the entire object is complete.
The technology can be used to create objects from a wide variety of materials, including plastics, metals, and ceramics. It is a versatile process that can be used to create prototypes, tooling, and end-use parts.
About the GuideÂ
This 40-page guide is the most authoritative introduction to date on metal binder jetting — the most promising ASTM-recognized 3D printing technology for the mass production of metal parts and products.
Written by Desktop Metal, the global leaders in binder jetting technology, this guide contains a comprehensive overview of high-speed 3D printing of metals without a laser. In binder jetting, an inkjet printhead — similar to those used in a paper printer — applies a liquid binder to powdered metal one layer at a time to create a desired object. Similar to parts created with Metal Injection Molding (MIM), the printed object is then sintered to high density in a furnace.
Desktop Metal was co-founded by Prof. Ely Sachs of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the inventor of binder jet 3D printing, and is home to a team of experts that has commercialized more than a dozen metal binder jetting systems since 1996 as the technology has matured.
Inside this guide, you’ll take a deep dive into what makes binder jetting a truly special and advantageous approach in
the metal 3D printing marketplace — one that is drawing new entrants into the field, such as HP and GE.
We’ll cover these topics:
• Binder jetting’s unique benefits in metal manufacturing
• Ideal applications for metal binder jetting
• Inkjet printheads as an industrial power tool
• Printer system design approaches and considerations
• An overview of powder, binder, and printing recipes
• The future of binder jetting aluminum and titanium
• How it compares to laser powder bed fusion
• The rapid evolution of binder jetting in the marketplace
Explore why this technology holds the keys to enabling the next era of Additive Manufacturing 2.0, which can unlock the innovation, agility and sustainability benefits of 3D printing in meaningful high volumes.
