Binder Jetting 3D printing käyttää powder based material, Kuten polymers, metals, ceramics and a liquid binder.
The liquid binder acts as an adhesive between layers.
With the Binder Jetting process, a print head moves horizontally along the X and Y axes of the 3D printer, depositing powder and binding material in alternate layers.
After each layer, the build platform lowers the object being printed by the same thickness as the layer.
As with many of the other powder based printing methods, support structures are not needed because the 3D printed object is supported in the powder bed. It then just needs to be removed or unpacked from the unused powder once the 3D printing process ends.
