Even as the transition to metal and ceramic binder jetting for production has only but begun, it is clear that simply implementing fast binder jetting processes will not be enough to truly cater to production demands. Binder jetting materials and processes still present several challenges and bottlenecks that need to be addressed, from the limited number of available materials to the elevated number of highly complex post-processing steps, including infiltration and of course sintering.

 .

That’s exactly what UK-based Meta Additive intends to address with its uniquely advanced technology. All the big players in the segment are working on it: Desktop Metal has developed advanced software for effective sintering and ExOne has introduced nano-particled binders. XJet has taken it all a step further by directly jetting the metal nanoparticles, further blurring the lines between binder jetting and material jetting. However, all these approaches still fall somewhat short and a new company, whose very name means change and evolution, is ready to introduce a new approach that will address all these issues through chemistry. As an industry media, we tend to look […]
