Abstract

SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.

Abstract

Binder Jet additive manufacturing is a 3D printing technology that is used for a variety of materials irrespective of the properties and characteristics. A variety of materials that are used include ceramics, polymers and metals. The materials are formed layer by layer by the adhesive bonding between material and binder. Compared with recent developing modern manufacturing methods, binder jetting has the capability of producing quickly integrated complex features for obtaining isotropic properties. Green part manufacturing is processed to obtain the end part. Property obtained through this process is close to the traditional powder metallurgy sintering technique. This article discusses in detail the different materials used in binder jet additive manufacturing, different process challenges involved, binder and droplets, post-processing, characterization, the advantages and applications. Further, the powder characteristics and process parameters are explained.
