Metal Binder Jetting: The Path to Mass Production
Additive Manufacturing (AM) has become a popular tool in industrial manufacturing. Parts are developed faster, cheaper, and in a variety of materials. And as the process increases in popularity, so does the need to develop the technology. Thus, there is a current focus on metal binder jetting as the AM solution for high throughput, cost-effective production. This process for metal parts yields extremely high build rates and scaling potential when combined with GKN Powder Metallurgy’s 260+ year tenure in the sintering of high-performance metal parts and products. In this session, learn about the development and advantages of metal binder jetting, and how GKN Additive provided the first technical application mass produced with the HP metal jet process.

Post Process Cleaning in Additive Manufacturing and 3D Printing
Today 3D manufacturing is used in everything from medical implements, toys, military, aerospace, prototyping, replacement parts and much more. For many of the industries utilizing this technology, 3D printing allows the ability to have a clean part with no excess materials. This cleanliness is imperative for acceptance of the technology in production environments. The days of using 3D “mock-ups” to confirm fit and form are long gone. Now parts are being printed for use in production and need to meet the same expectations as their machined counterparts. This presentation will provide a comprehensive overview of post process cleaning in 3D printing including: What processes are being utilized in 3D printing cleaning, including the machines, chemistry, and parameters, the most common materials applied in 3D printing, their cleaning challenges and market trends for 3D printing and cleaning. Discover the options for machines and how to determine the best for your application.
