Binder-Jetting
Binder-Jetting is an additive manufacturing technique that selectively deposits a liquid binder onto powder materials to build parts layer-by-layer. Unlike laser-based systems, this process enables high-speed production and eliminates thermal distortion during printing. However, achieving consistent part quality requires careful control of powder characteristics, binder interaction, and post-processing steps such as curing and sintering.
Materials Metric provides binder jetting evaluation and validation services to ensure reliable performance of printed components. Our work supports optimization of material selection, binder compatibility, and post-processing conditions to achieve desired density, strength, and dimensional accuracy.
Our Approach
We apply a structured framework that connects material behavior and process parameters to final part performance:
โข Material Evaluation to assess powder properties and binder compatibility
โข Process Optimization to refine deposition parameters and layer formation
โข Performance Validation to evaluate density, shrinkage, and mechanical integrity
This approach ensures that binder-jetted components are not only manufacturable but also meet defined engineering and application requirements.
