There are numerous additive manufacturing technologies on the market today, each associated with different materials and very specific applications. In this guide, we’ll be talking about binder jetting, which is compatible with a variety of materials, including ceramics and metal. How does binder jet 3D printing work? What materials can you use to manufacture parts? Who are the main machine manufacturers? What are the latest innovations and trends in this field? We took a closer look.
The History and Development of Binder Jetting
This technology was invented in 1993 at MIT, initially to work with ceramics. The rights were quickly taken over two years later by Z Corporation, which was acquired by 3D Systems in 2012. Metal binder jetting was developed by the American company ExOne in 1996. Since then, the technology has undergone numerous advances, attracting the attention of major players such as HP and Desktop Metal, who have launched their own binder jetting solutions, offering enhanced performance and capacity.
