Question

binder jetting technologies (bj)
use the information below to answer the questions to the right.
binder jetting requires no polymers. you can use sand or metal as your building agent. it also requires no direct heat.
the process of binder jet printing includes distributing a fine layer of powder onto the print bed. as each layer is spread, the print bed will lower until the final layer is distributed.
a binding agent is a liquid that takes powder and glues it together to make it stick together, and that is how you get the first layer and so on.
the print head knows where the binding agent is to be applied.
the binding agent will need to cure and harden, there is no laser or heat involved in this process.
by not using any heat, you are eliminating any opportunity for any internal stress on your print.
what is a disadvantage to using a binder jet printer?
all prints will be extremely brittle
it is expensive so you usually will need to use a third - party company
it takes months to print and receive your project

Explanation:

Binder jetting uses a binding agent to glue powder layers together. Without heat - based processes like in some other 3D printing methods, the resulting prints can lack the strength and toughness that heat - induced bonding can provide, leading to brittleness. There is no information given about high cost and third - party use, nor long printing times.

Answer:

all prints will be extremely brittle
