Powder and Binder Metal 3D Printing
- 04 Apr 2019
- By Machinads
Understand what “powder + binder” printing entails. In its basic form, this means that a “green part” is created using metal powder plus a binder that holds the powder together. The binder is then removed from the “green part,” and the raw part is then sintered to try to shrink it to full density […]
