It enhances the functionality of the component and/or reduces costs by:
■ Shapes impossible to achieve with current technologies.
■ Parts integration.
■ Weight and size reduction.
■ Combination of multiple functions into a single component.

Binder Jetting technology does not require molds or tools to shape the parts, and do not need heat evacuation supports. The resulting advantages are:
■ Saving of investment in molds and their replacement.
■ Reduction of development time to just a few days.
■ Simultaneous production of multiple designs.
■ Strong cost reduction cost of producing limited series, customized products, variants, and spare parts.
■ Quick implementation of design modifications.

Compared with powder bed fusion additive manufacturing technologies, Binder Jetting offers:
■ Much higher shaping (printing) speed.
■ No need for heat evacuation supports.
■ Scalability and the possibility of process automation.
■ Lower energy consumption.
■ Use of almost 100% of the raw material and complete recycling of the powder excess.
Compared with Metal Injection Molding and casting technologies, Binder Jetting offers:
■ No mold and tool costs, an advantage of great interest for mass production below 50,000 parts per year.
■ Quick product development.
■ Greater design freedom.

Binder Jetting technology produces metallic parts with a density greater than 98% of the wrought density and mechanical properties comparable to those of Metal Injection Molding. Room temperature printing and subsequent sintering prevent residual stresses and defects in the parts such as cracks or voids.

The manufacturing process of powder metal components is certified as ecological because the material waste is very low, the product is recyclable, and the energy efficiency is good because the material is not molten.
