The binder jetting process enables the additive manufacturing of complex tools made of WC-Co and M2 tool steel with high precision to the final contours. This reduces the amount of subsequent machining required. At the same time, the high degree of design freedom enables the integration of internal channels and complex structures that are difficult or costly to achieve using conventional manufacturing methods.

Desktop Metal’s Studio System enables the additive manufacturing of complex copper heat exchangers. A particular advantage is the ability to create internal channels using self-supporting geometries without the need for additional support structures. This makes it possible to implement complex channel configurations and compact heat exchanger designs that are difficult to produce using conventional manufacturing methods.

Medical grippers for minimally invasive procedures can be manufactured using the Binder Jetting process. Complex geometries and functional structures can be integrated directly into the component design. Furthermore, no tools are required for manufacturing, making the production of smaller batches economically viable.
