Equispheres, in partnership with McGill University, announced the results of extensive testing which found Equispheres’ aluminum alloy powders suitable for sintering with binder jet technology.

 

These findings have implications for the automotive industry as aluminum alloys represent over 30% of the overall material demand in this space. The unique and tailored attributes of Equispheres powder have proven exceptional in compaction free sintering.

 

Explains Dr. Mathieu Brochu, Associate Professor at McGill and Canada Research Chair in Pulse Processing of Nanostructured Materials, “We are excited to begin work with Equispheres’ binder jet printing partners in the next phase to fully understand all aspects related to sintering of complex shape components and the fundamental relations with new specialized binder agents.” Says Equispheres’ CEO, Kevin Nicholds, “We are excited about the industry response to our unique aluminum sintering results. Although binder jet printer technology offers the speed and cost reductions necessary to enable […]
