Printing process
The Desktop Metal Shop System is based on the binder jetting process, with which complex, metal injection-molded components can be produced quickly and cost-effectively in series. The process consists of three steps:
Step 1 – Print
The binder jetting process describes the layer-by-layer application of metal powder. A binder is then applied via several thousand nozzles according to the component cross-section in order to bind the loose powder. This process is repeated until the build volume is filled with the metal parts and loose powder.
Step 2 – De-powdering
Once the printing process is complete and the binder has hardened, the components are transported to a powder station in a construction kit, where the loose powder is removed. An integrated powder recycling system recovers 98% of the loose powder.
Step 3 – Sintering
After depowdering, the metal parts are sintered in a furnace at temperatures of up to 1400 °C. At temperatures close to the melting point, the binder escapes from the component and the molecular chains fuse together, allowing the desired mechanical properties to be achieved. The finished metal part is comparable to a cast part with a density of 98%.
Central advantages
High-resolution print head
The print head with 70,000 nozzles enables high-resolution printing of metal parts. The print volume can be 4, 6, 8 or 12 liters, depending on requirements
High-performance production
With the high-speed single-pass printing machine, the binder jetting system produces up to thousands of high-quality metal parts per day. In addition, manufacturing costs are reduced many times over compared to conventional production methods such as metal injection molding.
No support structures
The binder jetting system eliminates the need for support structures, as the components are held in position by the surrounding loose metal powder.
Live Sinter
Desktop Metal's associated software simulates the complex forces to which the parts are subjected during sintering and automatically adjusts the geometries so that the originally intended design specifications are retained after printing.
Applications
Qualified materials
316L stainless steel
This completely authentic and non-magnetic steel is ideal for demanding environments. It is characterized by its corrosion resistance, high ductility and temperature resistance.
Cobalt-chrome (F75)
The alloy of cobalt and chromium for use in demanding applications is characterized by its corrosion resistance and high wear resistance. It is used, for example, in dental implants or turbine guide vanes.
17-4PH Stainless steel
The steel is used in a variety of industrial applications, including those with mildly corrosive environments and high strength requirements.
