However, it only took a couple of years of serious development on metal binder jetting industrialization to achieve this goal.<\/p>\n<p>We sometimes wonder why additive manufacturing is so much more exciting than all other manufacturing processes\u2014even highly automated ones\u2014so much so that many professionals and media involved in this field feel a true passion for it. Almost like gaming or digital entertainment. It\u2019s because, although sometimes it doesn\u2019t seem like it from the outside, innovation goes at breakneck speed in AM and the technology grows at Moore\u2019s Law-like rates.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/3\/yQFFFj.png\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The new patent-pending process developed by ExOne and Ford Motor Co. for binder jetting 6061 aluminum can deliver final p<a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/topics\/art\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">art<\/a>s with 99% density.

When printing metals, the final bound metal p<a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/topics\/art\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">art<\/a> must be sintered in a furnace to fuse the p<a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/topics\/art\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">art<\/a>icles together into a solid object. The heating process reinforces the strength and integrity of the metal, and while the process for sintering stainless steel is well understood, achieving high densities greater than 99 percent is an industry breakthrough for aluminum.<\/p>\n<p>The Ford-ExOne joint development project was first initiated in 2019. Ford has led the final material and repeatability testing to verify its accuracy. The cross-functional Ford-ExOne team is actively working on designs to use the new material and process.<\/p>\n<p>The relationship between Ford and ExOne goes back to the early 2000s when Ford purchased several of ExOne\u2019s first industrial sand <a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/service\/3d-printing-service\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">3D print<\/a>ers in the United States to create sand molds and cores for metal casting.
