USE METAL BINDER JETTING FOR FAST AND AFFORDABLE METAL PARTS

Metal binder jetting technology is a 3D printing technology used to make complex
metal parts with excellent mechanical properties. Our partnership with ExOne
provides on-demand production capacity with the latest binder jet machines and
high-performance metal alloys and composites.

Metal binder jetting is often used to produce metal binder parts at fraction of
the cost of other metal processes with virtually no design limitations. Binder
jetting machines have large build areas and produce parts at high speed, making
it an excellent option for low to medium batch, rapid turn parts. The speed and
affordability of binder jetting make it perfect for industries that need high
strength parts such as industrial, automotive, consumer products, oil, and gas
industries.

FeatureDescription
Feature

Build Size

Description

15" x 10" x 10" (400 x 250 x 250 mm)

Feature

General Tolerances

Description

Depending on the part’s size and geometry, parts may shrink 0.8%–2.5% during
cooling. Internal geometries, such as slots and holes, may shrink as much as 5%

Feature

Layer Height

Description

0.004” (0.1 mm)

Feature

Surface Roughness

Description

30 to 200 µin Ra, depending on build orientation, finish, and material used for
the build

Feature

Density

Description

95%+ for infiltrated, 98%+ for single alloy. Density is homogeneous.

This table depicts the general tolerances for Metal Binder Jetting. Stresses
during the build and other geometry considerations may cause deviation in
tolerances and flatness. Part designs with thicker geometries, flat or broad
parts, and parts with uneven wall thicknesses may be prone to significant
deviations or warp. Improved tolerances may be possible with a manual quote
review, after successful completion of a prototype build, and must be approved
on a case-by-case basis. General tolerances apply before secondary finishing or
post-processing unless otherwise specified. Please check out Xometry's
Manufacturing Standards for more information on tolerances per process.




WHAT IS THE METAL BINDER JETTING PROCESS

Metal binder jetting is an additive manufacturing metal printing technology that
builds metal parts from a CAD file in a multi-step process. Binder jet machines
first fuse layers of metal powder together with a binding agent. Once the part
is bound, the resulting shape is called a green part and is left to cure. The
cured form is then put into a furnace to sinter or be infiltrated with bronze. 


Since binder jet parts are supported by unused powder on all sides of the part,
this eliminates or minimizes the need for post-processing. Note that since most
binder jet parts must undergo a furnace stage, parts are prone to shrinkage, are
slightly porous, and fine features may not survive. Engineers should design
binder jet parts with design-for-manufacturing principles in mind.




METAL BINDER JETTING MATERIALS AVAILABLE AT XOMETRY

Material NameDescriptionData Sheets
Material Name

X1 Metal 420i™

Description

420i is a matrix metal composite material composed of 60% 420 stainless steel
and 40% bronze infiltrant. This material offers good mechanical properties and
offers excellent wear resistance. Its properties behave similarly to 4140 steel.
420i is 95%+ dense.

Data Sheets

420i Data Sheet

Material Name

X1 Metal 316i™

Description

316i is a matrix metal composite material composed of 60% 316L stainless steel
and 40% bronze infiltrant. This material offers good mechanical properties and
offers excellent wear resistance. 316i is easier to tap and post-machine versus
420i. 316i is 95%+ dense.

Data Sheets

316i Data Sheet

Material Name

Single alloy 316L SS

Description

A 98%+ dense 316L stainless steel metal with superb corrosion resistance, and
excellent feature details.

Data Sheets

Additional materials are available upon request. Review more information about
our materials here.




AVAILABLE FINISHES

420i binder jetting metal parts are a composite of steel and bronze. Because of
this, material coloration will be bronze-silver on wear points. This can be
enhanced or occluded, depending on finishing options such as media blasting,
heat patinas, and vibratory media tumbling.


Xometry offers six finishes for X1 Metal 420i and 316i: Zirblast, Tumble
Polished, Medieval Pewter, Damascus Steel, Antique Bronze, and Wheat Penny.
Single alloy metals are available with Zirblast.


FINISHES GALLERY

Zirblast (Standard)

This standard finish results in a bright, matte, bronze-to-gray metallic
surface. This is provided due to a ceramic bead blast (zirconium silicate bead).

Tumble Polished

Parts are media tumbled to a semi-gloss polish. Part color is bright bronze with
darker gray striations from features inaccessible to the media. Small gaps may
still hold small grains of polishing media.

Medieval Pewter

A heat patina is applied, then parts are tumble polished resulting in a dark
gray appearance with some bronze shine on protruded features. Parts are coated
with a sealant before shipping.

Damascus Steel

A heat patina is applied to a media blasted surface leaving an even, dark gray,
and matte surface. Parts are coated with a sealant before shipping.

Antique Bronze

A heat patina is applied after tumble polishing to produce a copper-like
coloration with darker gray striations from features inaccessible to the media.
Parts are coated with a sealant before shipping.

Wheat Penny

A heat patina is applied and then media blasted, resulting in an even, matte,
and copper-like finish. Parts are coated with a sealant before shipping.
