About Project

This stunning 3D-printed SS316L lattice hybrid structure showcases the incredible capabilities of BinderJet 3D printing technology. The intricate design, combining a smaller ring with a larger disc, is a testament to the precision and complexity achievable through additive manufacturing.

Key Features

• Hexagonal Honeycomb Lattice: The disc's pronounced hexagonal honeycomb pattern offers exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, making it ideal for applications requiring high structural integrity and minimal weight.
• Intricate Sponge-Like Lattice: The ring's intricate sponge-like structure provides a high surface area-to-volume ratio, perfect for applications like filtration, heat exchange, or sound absorption.

Potential Applications

The versatility of this hybrid structure opens up a world of possibilities across various industries:

• Aerospace: Lightweight, high-strength components for aircraft and spacecraft.
• Automotive: Innovative designs for fuel-efficient and high-performance vehicles.
• Biomedical: Implantable devices with intricate structures for tissue engineering and drug delivery.

Solution

• Step 1: Design.聽The design of the SS316L Lattice Hybrid Structure was created using CAD software. The design included a combination of a smaller ring and a larger disc, each with distinct lattice patterns.
• Step 2: Slicing.聽The CAD model was sliced into thin layers using slicing software, preparing it for 3D printing.
• Step 3: Preparation.聽The SS316L stainless steel powder was prepared and loaded into the BinderJet 3D printer.
• Step 4: Printing.聽The printer spread a thin layer of stainless steel powder over the build platform. A binding agent was then selectively applied to the powder, bonding the particles together layer by layer to form the desired shape.
• Step 5: Layering.聽The process of spreading powder and applying the binder was repeated until the entire object was built up from individual layers.
• Step 6: Curing.聽The printed part was allowed to cure, allowing the binder to harden and stabilize the structure.
• Step 7: Unpacking.聽The object was carefully removed from the powder bed, and any excess powder was brushed off and recovered for future use.
• Step 8: Sintering.聽The object was placed in a sintering furnace, where it was heated to a high temperature to fuse the stainless steel particles together, achieving the final density and strength.
