Selective Inhibition Sintering: The Process for Consumer Metal Additive Manufacturing
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract The current 3D printing market is in need of a solution in which high performance meets low cost. Consumer 3D printers are predominantly based on fused filament fabrication technology, and while they feature a low cost, they only offer a limited selection of plastic materials. On the other hand, industrial additive manufacturing (AM) machines offer a variety of materials, including high-performance metals, with printed parts capable of tackling industrial applications. Unfortunately, these machines come at a high cost. This research aims to explore the application of a novel AM process called selective inhibition sintering (SIS) for use in a consumer-priced metal AM machine. Sample parts are printed and presented, along with a discussion of the results and future work necessary.
