What is Binder Jetting?
Binder jetting (BJ) is a newer 3D printing process that uses a liquid binding agent to bind materials powders together for solid 3D printing parts.
This process takes place in a printer where the powder is spread on a platform. The printer travels over the powder, dropping the binder agent on select areas bonding them into solid parts one layer at a time.
Parts manufactured by binder jet 3D printing have weaker mechanical properties than other metal 3D printing processes. Secondary processes like infiltration and sintering, where parts are essentially baked in a furnace, are necessary to increase a part’s density and strength.
Advantages

- Works with materials including ceramics and metals.
- Quicker turn times and more affordable compared to other 3D printing processes.
Applications
- Higher volume, low cost components.
- Molds and models.
- Pieces that require precision and accuracy.
- Large complex parts.
