The research facility is also looking at component design for metal Binder Jetting, post-process powder removal, and addressing the significant challenges of the sintering process to ensure optimal part quality.
By eliminating support structures and enabling faster build rates, metal Binder Jetting is said to offer unique advantages over alternative processes, particularly with challenging materials. The sinter-based Additive Manufacturing process can be a game-changer for industries like automotive, where cost-efficiency and high-quality production are key.
