Metal Binder Jetting

At the Chair of DAP, we are researching the diverse potential of metal binder jetting (BJT-MSt/M). With the HP Metal Jet S100, we can produce complex metal components efficiently and without support structures – a major advantage for series production.

Our research concentrates on process optimisation, the development of new material combinations and the further development of design approaches for metal binder jetting. The focus is on the following areas:

Development of new powder materials
Optimisation of the entire production chain – from design to sintering processes
Characterisation of materials and components
Development of new design guidelines for greater efficiency and quality

Thanks to the high production speed and flexible choice of materials, we open up new possibilities for the automotive industry, medical technology and many other areas of application. MBJ offers significant advantages over conventional processes such as laser powder bed fusion (PBF-LB), particularly for challenging materials such as difficult-to-weld or highly reflective metals.

By focussing on resource-saving production and innovative component design, we are making an important contribution to the further development of additive manufacturing technologies.
