Binder Jetting: Material Science in Additive Manufacturing

The Additive Manufacturing technology Binder Jetting is very similar to Powder Bed Fusion. Although there are many similarities of the two processes, the material properties that can be achieved are very different. Learn about the process principle and applications of Binder Jetting!

Last week, we introduced the process principle and various applications of Material Jetting. Watch the videos here, if you missed them!

Now, we will focus on this week’s topic: Binder Jetting.

What is Binder Jetting?

Binder Jetting is an Additive Manufacturing process in which a liquid bonding agent is selectively deposited to join powder materials (ASTM F42 Committee).

Very similar to Powder Bed Fusion but instead of a heat source an “adhesive” is used to bond the particles together. Although there are many similarities of the two processes, the material properties that can be achieved are very different.

Process Principle of Binder Jetting

Focusing on the Binder Jetting process, we look at the process steps of this Additive Manufacturing technology. Now that we are familiar with a variety of techniques, we also highlight similarities and differences between Binder Jetting and Powder Bed Fusion.
