Using Additive Manufacturing Safely and Practically in the Classroom<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In recent years, additive manufacturing has become a key technology in modern industry. To ensure that students are optimally prepared for the demands of the workforce, relevant training content is becoming increasingly important at vocational schools as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Desktop Metal Studio System<\/a> provides educational institutions with a specially developed solution that integrates professional metal 3D printing into the classroom in a simple, safe, and hands-on way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From a Digital Model to a Metal Component<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Studio System consists of a metal 3D printer and a sintering furnace. The production of a component takes place in two steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, a so-called \u201cgreen part\u201d is additively manufactured. In this process, metal-filled rods\u2014composed of metal powder and a binder\u2014are extruded layer by layer. The process is similar to the well-known FFF 3D printing, which uses plastic filaments. By using metal rods instead of metal filaments, a significantly lower binder content is required, which has a positive effect on process reliability and component quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the second step, the printed green part undergoes thermal debinding and sintering in a sintering furnace. During this process, the binder is removed and the metal particles bond together to form a dense, durable metal component.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through this structured process, apprentices learn the essential steps of industrial additive metal manufacturing\u2014from design to the finished workpiece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
