Binder Jet offers capabilities that differ from other metal additive technologies. These capabilities include faster build speeds up to 100 times faster, lower metal powder costs, parts that have comparatively lower residual stress, and unique material capabilities. However, it can be difficult to achieve appropriate geometric tolerancing and dimensional control, as parts sintered are exposed to complex physical and chemical phenomena that introduce significant deformation. This session explores GE Additive and Kennametal’s experience taking a part from design through production in the Binder Jet process. Learn how to create a single data flow from design to part by performing sintering characterization, simulating the expected deformation, and compensating the geometry to yield near net shape parts.
Learning Objectives:
- Learn how to create a single data flow from design to part by performing sintering characterization, simulating the expected deformation, and compensating the geometry to yield near net shape parts.
- Upon completion, participants will be able to take-away the advantages of the Binder Jetting technology.
