The company prides itself on uniquely offering three production methods – investment casting, metal injection molding (MIM), and binder jet 3D printing. Titanium is a popular material because of its excellent strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and biocompatibility. However, Ti64 is also known for being expensive to manufacture. The material’s strength, as well as its low thermal conductivity and ductility, make it challenging to machine or produce with traditional manufacturing methods. For example, Ti64’s strength requires more force to cut and remove material. In turn, the material has a tendency to work-harden during machining, which can lead to tool wear and breakage. To mitigate this, special tools, coolants, and process approaches are needed during machining. With binder jetting, however, the process can be simplified and made more economical. “Titanium isn‘t as expensive as perceived because of its performance characteristics,” Swenson explained. “It costs a little bit more, but you can achieve more with it and we get an excellent yield with the material that we‘re using in binder jetting as compared to machining operations - we are able to use all the powder that we purchase.” In the end, titanium is an economical material because of its exceptional performance. In binder jetting, an industrial printhead selectively deposits a binder into a bed of Ti64 powder particles creating a solid part one thin layer at a time, just like printing on sheets of paper. The form or shape produced by the printeris then sintered to high density and accuracy in a furnace, similar to the MIM process, while unbound material can be reused in the next printing process, adding to its cost efficiency. Because of TriTech’s sintering experience, binder jetting on the Production System was the best option to complement its MIM offering Subscribe now - https://bit.ly/2DeL5iH Visit our website - https://proto3000.com/ Follow us on Social!
