I’m wondering if these 3D metal printers can be used for mass production runs. I work in a plant that makes metal gears, gerotors, slides, and other parts for the automotive industry. Our production runs are in the 10s of thousands per lot. We use powder compact presses and sinter furnaces, tempering furnaces, etc. The parts usually need to go on a sizing press afterwards and sometimes need further work after that before they are ready for use. If these 3D parts are ready for use right out of the sintering process that would save a hell of a lot of time and money.

@bs0u0155

2 жыл бұрын

3D printing is always going to be slower than molding. What you're describing is essentially metal injection molding. You can scale that and shoot 10, 50, 100 parts at a time on the order of seconds. A 3D printer might take 4 hours to make one part, then you still have to go through sintering etc. Molding is tricky to set up and then fast to use. 3D printing has no setup, but takes a long time. So it's nice is the low volume specialist stuff, prototyping or possibly mold making.

Great question! Although some porosity may exist, we can assume it is relatively fully dense. Usually it takes quite a bit of pressure or specialized processes to ensure there is no porosity left. However, it seems like their furnace profile has a specific debinding phase that is necessary to ensure that binder burns out before the metal is heated to sintering temperatures. This is helpful to prevent porosity as the binder can escape prior to the metal densification stage. From their website it looks like they claim their 17-4 PH Stainless Steel to be approximately 96% dense. This is normal for most metal processing (even traditional), although I have seen better density on other varieties of metal 3D printers.

If it's metal powder with a binder, there has to be shrinkage involved. 1) What type of shrinkages are involved that need to be compensated for and does the software account for shrinkage during printing (and would it automatically change it's values based on the target metal which vary in shrinkage). 2) Wouldn't the binder itself (or burnoff residues of binder) result in compromised metal integrity within the crystalline structure which could fail under stress or heat?

@markforged

Жыл бұрын

1. Yes, there is predictable shrinkage that occurs during the debinding and sintering steps of the process. Our software automatically scales the part while printing to account for the shrinkage. 2. Our feedstock is similar to that used for an existing technology called Metal Injection Molding (MIM). MIM materials do operate on a different standard than wrought materials - typically they are slightly less strong/stiff and are slightly more brittle. Markforged materials meet or exceed MIM standards and are typically within 5-10% of wrought strength standards.
