Ricoh develops new technology
- Ricoh announced it has developed a new Binder Jetting process for aluminum parts production
- For use by 3D printers that use Additive Manufacturing technology
- developed a unique binder material that, when combined with a suitable debind and sinter stage, offers the potential to use typical aluminum powders in the Binder Jetting process
- use of a liquid immersion technique for removing excess powder is said to make it possible to form complex internal channels during the process
- also working to expand the range of alloys that this method can be used with
