Abstract

Binder jetting is an additive manufacturing process that excels in creating complex metal parts by selectively depositing a binder onto a powder bed. Research focuses on optimizing binder-powder interactions, green part strength, and post-processing techniques like sintering and infiltration to achieve desired material properties. The influence of binder properties and printing parameters on component integrity and performance is crucial. Advancements include novel binder systems, in-situ monitoring, and the production of lightweight lattice structures and multi-material components. Economic viability for high-volume production and managing residual stresses are also key areas of investigation.
