Why Choose Binder Jetting?
When MIM Tooling Is Too Early, Binder Jetting Is the Solution
Binder Jetting enables parts to be manufactured directly from a powder bed, without any tooling constraints and with exceptional design freedom.
The process is compatible with virtually any metal powder, and all unbound material is fully recycled, resulting in zero material waste.
Benefits :
- No residual stresses thanks to a fusion-free process
- No support structures required
- Minimal post-processing
- Clean, isotropic material properties
- High packing density for maximum productivity and efficiency
Today, Binder Jetting is particularly well suited for parts under 50 mm, delivering outstanding accuracy, consistency, and process reliability.
Metallurgy Fully Aligned with MIM
The Same Powder. The Same Sintering Process.
As Binder Jetting and MIM rely on the same powder metallurgy foundations, they share the same core manufacturing principles :
- The same material properties
- The same mechanical performance
- The same post-processing and heat treatment options
This ensures a seamless transition between Binder Jetting and MIM—from a single part to millions.
Binder Jetting Makes MIM More Flexible and Faster
And MIM Makes Binder Jetting Scalable for High-Volume Production.
Key Takeaways
The Metal Additive Manufacturing Technology Closest to MIM — With Identical Metallurgy
- No tooling.
- No melting.
- No residual stresses.
- No support structures.
Ultra-fast lead times: transform a 3D file into a functional metal part in less than 10 days, depending on the material and part complexity.
Ideal for:
- Functional prototypes
- Pilot runs and low-volume production
- Mechanical testing and validation
- Product and material development
Binder Jetting combines the design freedom of additive manufacturing with the metallurgical foundations of MIM, providing a seamless path from product development to high-volume production.
