Question

b): printer characteristics
use the information below to answer the question.
binder jetting (bj) printer is a combination of the sls machine and the material
jetting machine. it has a powder bed, but it doesnt have a heat source. the print is
made using a binding agent.
packing
in bj printing, there is a powder bed. the full capacity of the build volume can be
utilized for low - to medium - run productions of 50 to 100 pieces.

• since there is no heat source, there is no tension between hot and cold spots,

which can lead to warping or deformation.

• more complex and intricate geometry can be created because it doesnt require

support structures.

• prints can be created faster because there is less time spent on removing support

structures.

• the parts with varying hardness levels can be obtained, which improves the

what benefit do binder jetting (bj) prints have due to there being no heat source?
there is no tension between hot and cold spots
there is a stronger support structure
they can do high run productions

Explanation:

Since there is no heat source in Binder Jetting (BJ) printers, there is no temperature - related stress such as tension between hot and cold spots which can cause warping or deformation.

Answer:

There is no tension between hot and cold spots
