Some thoughts
POWDER BUILD BOX
- There is a 60mm removable build box which circutates between build area, the oven for brown to green parts and the depowdering station.
- The depowdering system vaccums the build box and recycles the powder into a hopper for reuse.
- All three zones are built into the printer so it will easily fit into a small Inert box.
The five slots
- There are five modular slots with a range of powder handling modules designed around various flow characteristics from a powdery talc consistency for something like a low flow ceramic to a rough, grainy metal powder.
- We can also design a proprietary powder handling system for a powder with unique powder flow characteristics that you can use on The Educator.
Open architecture
- The Educator platform has a standard MIMs powder configuration if you want an out of the box binderjet system for say a 316 Steel.
- But because of the five modular slots with open IOs you can adjust and capture parameters on a module or even design a powder handling system to plug into slots.
- Binderjet allows you to explore materials from metals, alloys and ceramics. The parts are all grounded so you open to play with something like a static prone polymer.
