Abstract Scope |
Binder Jetting has become one of the most popular Additive Manufacturing technologies, nevertheless this technology has a steep learning curve due to the shrinking during the sintering process. It is difficult to predict which dimensions will be most affected because the shrinking is not uniform over the part. New Binder Jetting simulation tools are being developed and tested to evaluate the simulation software. A dimensional test artifact geometry was built and inspected to compare it with the predicted build simulations results. The purpose is to demonstrate the efficiency of the Binder Jetting Software in predicting material behavior during the Additive Manufacturing process. After the inspection, an evaluation of the effects of different sintering process parameters will start to be analyzed. We also consider the printing parameters of the machine, for example, the layer thickness, the binder saturation, among others. |
