Handeheld Device For Aided Fine Cleaning Of Green Parts, Hp Inc
Defensive Publications Series
Metal binding 3D printing machines enable to produce green parts by selectively gluing metal powder particles inside a print bucket, typically using printheads that jet a binding solution to a thin layer of powder; formation of three-dimensional parts happens by stacking such layers one on top of each other. After printing, the binder solutions (from now on “binder”) must go through a curing process. The curing process provides the parts with a “good enough” mechanical strength to undergo several subsequent cleaning processes, prior to entering the sintering oven. In the sintering furnace, the metal particles diffuse and form a single …
