Compaction and Press Technology

In powder metallurgy, compacting refers to the process of applying pressure to metal powders to shape them into a desired form. This is typically done using a mechanical press or hydraulic press.

Compaction is a forming process used in metal binder jetting to compress metal powder particles together to form a part. In metal binder jetting, after the metal powder is deposited layer by layer and binder is selectively deposited to bind the particles, compaction is applied to ensure the particles are tightly packed before the part is sintered.

Compaction technology plays a crucial role in the metal binder jetting process by improving the density, mechanical properties, and overall quality of the green parts produced. Here's how compaction technology contributes to the metal binder jetting process: increase density, improve mechanical properties, enhanced dimensional accuracy, uniform material distribution, optimized surface finish, enhanced sinterability
