What is Metal Binder Jetting?
A realistic method for 3D printing in volume production
An industrial printhead selectively deposits a liquid binding agent onto a thin layer of metal powder particles to build high-value and one-of-a-kind parts and tooling. The process is repeated layer by layer, using a map from a digital design file, until the object is complete. Metal materials are cured and sintered after printing to achieve densities greater than 97%, in line with metal injection molding (MIM) and better than investment castings.
What are the benefits?
Here are a few things you get with metal binder jetting:
- Quick print speeds for volume production output
- Parts with internal geometries
- Design freedom for complex designs
- Greater complexity and better surface finish and feature details compared to investment casing designs
- Wide range of material possibilities
- Geometries that are difficult to produce in hard tooling
- Larger sized components for production
- No required initial tooling or retooling

In-House Metallurgy Processes
Our facility is stacked with high temperature powder metallurgy processing needed to make high volume Binder Jetting possible.
We have the world's largest installed capacity of high temperature sintering furnaces - a core process step needed for most metal Binder Jetting alloys.
With over 40 years of metallurgy experience, we bring an infrastructure of processes and equipment to support volume production of additive manufacturing from pre to post production.
From surface finish to machining, 3D printed metal parts with complex geometries can be manufactured more efficiently with our extensive post-print secondary machining capacity.
Metal Binder Jetting: Design Features
Geometric Freedom
Because of the process's capabilities to support parts through sintering and control distortion, Binder Jetting allows for design freedom to create undercuts, complex internal channels, lattices, sharp edges and corners, surface textures, and fine features.
Reduced Support Structures
Binder Jetting minimizes the support structures needed by using the powder bed itself to support the part while printing. Sinter support structures can also be printed at the same time - separate from the part - to reduce the need for support structure removal after printing and sintering.
Part Accuracy
To ensure part accuracy, we have the ability to manage shrinkage during sintering. Also, post-sintering secondary operations can support qualifying key dimensions and addressing surface finish requirements.
Thinner Wall Thickness
Thinner wall thicknesses aid in the removal of the binder prior to sintering, and more uniform wall thicknesses minimize the potential for distortion and cracking during sintering.
Printing Speed
Binder Jetting print speeds are much faster than competing additive processes, opening the door for the possibility of higher volumes and more cost-competitive finished parts.
No Tooling
With the ability for iterative design changes in a single build, Binder Jetting eliminates the need for expensive upfront tooling costs and retooling - significantly reducing lead times.
Internal Geometries
Binder Jetting excels at producing parts with internal geometries as the powder acts as the support structure to the internal cavities and is easy to remove as long as there is some open passageway to the surface.
Light-Weighting
Binder Jetting supports light-weighting not only by controlling the fill ratio through lattice structures, but also by providing a porous initial structure that can be sintered to maintain the porous structure, infiltrated to create a composite structure, or sintered to high density.
