The Top Binder Jetting Solutions

Binder jetting is one of the major additive manufacturing processes available on the market. In the process, a thin layer of powder is coated with a liquid binder (jetted via inkjet technology) to create the part layer by layer. Depending on the material used, it also requires significant post-processing including at least curing, but also often sintering or infiltration. The technology has been gaining in popularity recently thanks to its speed and cost-effectiveness, but also due to the wide array of materials that are available including ceramics, metal and sand. However, how can you know which binder jetting solution is the best fit for you? To explore that very question, we have made this next listing to take a look at some of the best binder jetting solutions that are currently on the market. You will find them below in alphabetical order.

COMETRUE T10

The ComeTrue T10 is a desktop 3D printer manufactured by ComeTrue, a company based in Taiwan. It uses the patented ComeTrue Binder Jetting technology, and benefits from a dual extruder. In terms of print volume, it offers structures that can measure 200 mm x 160 mm x 150 mm, with dimensions of 800 mm x 620 mm x 700 mm and a weight of 60 kg. The ComeTrue T10 incorporates ComeTrue Print software to cut 3D files. The 3D printer can be used to manufacture in various sectors such as architecture or medical. It offers the possibility to create complex models that would be impossible to design with traditional construction methods. In addition, ComeTrue has made sure to improve the printing speed of the machine. Compared to its competitors, the 3D printer stands out because it can print 20 mm/hr for a vertical construction.

DM P2500 From Digital Metal

Though originally part of Höganäs AB, Digital Metal was acquired by Markforged earlier this year. The company is well-known within the binder jetting field specifically focusing on metal binder jetting, as its name suggests. The company currently has three machines, the PPS 1000, DPS 1000 and DM P2500, which is one of its most popular. The DM P2500 has a build volume of 250 x 217 x 70/186 mm and allows for the fast and flexible production of metal parts. It is compatible with a number of different materials including Stainless steel, Ti6AI4V, an equivalent to Inconel 636, Tool Steel and Pure Copper among others. Moreover, it has a number of interesting features including the ability to print without support structures and by stacking components (which is commonly the case with binder jetting solutions), high accuracy and repeatability and almost 100% recycling of powder that was not used. It can also operate at room temperature.
