Title: Location dependency of green density and dimension variation in binder jetted parts
Binder jetting is a powder bed additive manufacturing process where an object is created by depositing liquid binder onto the surface of powder, selectively binding particles in each layer. The quality of the as-printed parts is influenced not only by process parameters such as layer thickness, binder saturation, print speed, and drying time but also by the location within the build box. This study highlights the location-dependent nature of green density and dimensional accuracy in the as-printed samples, and the observed trends are thoroughly discussed. A conventional powder spreading using a single roller was compared with a double roller to maximize powder packing and bed uniformity prior to binder jetting process. The significance of these observations lies in their impact on densification behavior, shrinkage, and the final geometry of the printed part.  more » « less

    In the binder jetting (BJ) process, as in most of powder bed additive manufacturing technologies, the powder is periodically recoated onto the substrate layer-by-layer. The elements of the current deposited layer corresponding to the part being manufactured are bonded together using a polymeric binder. In all cases that require a thermal process for sintering, the internal structure of the finished part is defined by the internal structure of the powder bed. This article focuses on the discrete element modelling (DEM) of various powder spreading methods during recoating and their impact on the powder bed structure particularly applied to binder jetting technology. The article demonstrates that despite the thinness of the deposited layers, they typically exhibit porosity and particle and pore size non-uniformities along the build-up direction. These irregularities contribute to the anisotropic sintering shrinkage observed in green BJ bodies during experiments. However, the experiments presented confirmed by modelling show that without binder deposition, the powder bed – except for a narrow surface layer – remains relatively uniform, regardless of the recoating method used. It is the binder injection into the porous structure of the powder bed that disrupts this homogeneity, locks in large surface pores, and exacerbates the effects of powder segregation during spreading. Finally, several strategies, explored via simulation, are proposed to reduce porosity variations during BJ: using a combined roller-wide blade method for powder spreading and a two-hopper approach, where each layer consists of small particles deposited over larger ones.

    Abstract Binder jetting is an additive manufacturing process utilizing a liquid-based binding agent to selectively join the material in a powder bed. It is capable of manufacturing complex-shaped parts from a variety of materials including metals, ceramics, and polymers. This paper provides a comprehensive review on currently available reports on metal binder jetting from both academia and industry. Critical factors and their effects in metal binder jetting are reviewed and divided into two categories, namely material-related factors and process-related parameters. The reported data on density, dimensional and geometric accuracy, and mechanical properties achieved by metal binder jetting are summarized. With parameter optimization and a suitable sintering process, ten materials have been proven to achieve a relative density of higher than 90%. Indepth discussion is provided regarding densification as a function of various attributes of powder packing, printing, and post-processing. A few grades of stainless steel obtained equivalent or superior mechanical properties compared to cold working. Although binder jetting has gained its popularity in the past several years, it has not been sufficiently studied compared with other metal additive manufacturing (AM) processes such as powder bed fusion and directed energy deposition. Some aspects that need further research include the understanding of powder spreading process, binder-powder interaction, and part shrinkage.

    Binder jetting (BJ) is an additive manufacturing process that uses a powder feedstock in a layer wise process to print parts by selectively depositing a liquid binder into the powder bed using inkjet technology. This study presents findings from high-speed synchrotron imaging of binder droplet-interaction during the BJ printing process. A custom laboratory-scale BJ test platform was used for testing which enabled control of relevant process parameters including powder material, print geometry, spacing between droplets, powder bed density, and powder moisture content. Powder ejection was observed above the powder bed surface and powder relocation due to droplet impact was observed below the powder bed surface. Powder relocation was observed to be sensitive to powder material, powder bed density, powder bed moisture, droplet spacing, and print geometry. Increasing powder bed density was found to increase particle ejection velocity but reduce the total number of particles ejected. Process parameters that increase binder / moisture content in the powder bed were found to reduce powder ejection. The number of ejected powder particles was reduced for lower droplet spacings. Both powder ejection and powder relocation below the powder bed were reduced by treating the surface of the powder bed with a water/triethylene glycol (TEG) mixture before printing. Results from this study help to build understanding of the physical mechanisms in the BJ printing process that may contribute to formation of defects observed in final parts.

    In binder jet additive manufacturing (BJAM), uniformity and density of the powder layer impact green part quality. This study investigates the printability of unrefined sand using counter-roller spreading. Altair EDEM, a high-performance software powered by the Discrete Element Method (DEM), was used to simulate the BJAM process to evaluate powder bed homogeneity and density under various operating conditions, including roller rotational speed, traverse speed, powder layer thickness, and roller diameter. Utilizing high-performance computing (HPC) and graphics processing unit (GPU) clusters, time-efficient, and more realistic, simulations were performed simulating 300,000 grains. Detailed DEM simulations were executed by reconstructing representative particle shapes using two-dimensional images obtained using particle characterization equipment. The results highlight roller velocity and powder layer thickness as key determinants of sand spreadability. Optimal powder bed density (PBD) was achieved at a roller velocity of 20 mm/s with minimal deviation. A layer thickness exceeding 200 micrometers was found to prevent jamming and void formation, while percolation led to size segregation. The findings indicate that producing uniform and dense layers of unrefined sand is feasible but may incur trade-offs in print resolution and increased printing times. This work contributes to the advancement of sustainable and/or remote BJAM technologies, ensuring progress in both environmental sustainability and accessibility.

    The Binder Jetting (BJ) process is capable of producing parts at high speeds from a variety of materials, but performance is limited by defects in the final parts. An improved understanding of fundamental phenomena in the printing process is needed to understand the source of these defects. This work presents initial findings from high-speed imaging of the BJ process using synchrotron X-rays. High-speed X-ray imaging allows for direct observation of key physical mechanisms in the printing process that may introduce defects including binder droplet impact on the powder bed, powder rearrangement below and above the powder bed surface, and balling formation. Testing was performed with multiple materials and droplet spacings to compare the effect on observed phenomena. Multiple lines were printed on packed and loose powder beds to further explore factors that affect defect formation and to better simulate industrially relevant conditions.
