Introduction1:15
Explore binder jetting and multi-jet fusion, design possibilities and guidelines, materials like sand, metal, polymer, ceramic, plus printing, post-processing, and health and safety considerations.
What is Binder Jetting and Multi Jet Fusion2:12
Explore binder jetting and multi-jet fusion, detailing bj and mjf components, powder coating, bonding and fusing, curing, and sintering steps that yield finished parts, including colored prototypes and metal parts.
Pros and Cons5:54
Explore the pros and cons of binder jetting and multi-jet fusion, including fast production, smooth color surfaces, fine tolerances, and strong mechanical properties, plus challenges like debinding, sintering, and fragility.
Design possibilities1:24
Explore design possibilities for binder jetting and multi jet fusion, including high-resolution hollow structures, complex parts, sand casting, washout tooling for composites, and smooth internal channels.
Design guidelines - Binder Jetting2:26
Explore metal binder jetting design guidelines for walls, overhangs, holes, and tolerances. See sintering deformation simulations compare predicted vs actual results and note the minimum feature size of 2 mm.
Design guidelines - Multi Jet Fusion1:07
Multi-jet fusion design guidelines refine tolerances and details compared with SLS, emphasizing connecting parts, moving parts, escape holes, and channels, with final parts cleaned using piano wires.
Materials for Binder Jetting and Multi Jet Fusion0:42
Explore materials for binder jetting and multi-jet fusion, including sand molds, metals like 316 and copper, ceramics such as alumina, carbides, and polymers like PA 11/12, polypropylene, TPU, and TPA.
What can I print with Binder Jetting and Multi Jet Fusion0:45
Explore what we can print with binder jetting and multi jet fusion, including sand-mold pillar casting, tungsten and M2 tooling, and fully 3d printed metal parts with intricate designs.
Halfway quiz
Health and safety2:05
Explore health, safety and environment for binder jetting and multi-jet fusion. Learn to read safety data sheets, select safety equipment, manage powders, and comply with ASX workplace evaluations in Denmark.
The printing process - Binder Jetting4:43
Optimize binder jetting workflows by orienting and nesting parts to boost production speed, simulate sintering to predict deformation, debind and sinter or infiltrate, and plan post-processing.
The printing process - Multi Jet Fusion2:47
Explore the multi-jet fusion printing process, including part orientation and nesting, scaling for shrinkage, 80/20 powder mixing, packing density, and the cooling advantage over SLS.
Post processing2:19
Explore post-processing techniques for binder jetting and multi jet fusion. Apply heat treatment, abrasive blasting, deburring, electropolishing, and quality control to improve surfaces, microstructures, and corrosion resistance.
Links and references0:15
Access general links on additive manufacturing and specific links about binary dating and multi-jet fusion for further study.
Final quiz
Next relevant course - Economy of 3D printing12:01
Demonstrates how additive manufacturing enables single-material 3D printed designs with dramatic weight reductions and faster production, illustrated by SLS and SLM examples.
