At CONCR3DE we call our solvent binder BM1001 Metal Binder. It is mainly used for ceramics and metal powders, as it provides good adhesion in the printing stage. A polymer is introduced in the solvent that, when printed, hardens the substrate without requiring any reactive agents in the powder. This means that the M-binder can potentially be used for any powder compatible with the Armadillo printers and with a higher sintering temperature than the binder. It is essential to remember that debinding (removing the binding agents through heat) and sintering (forming a solid mass of material through heat and pressure) are obligatory steps of post-processing parts printed with M-binder. Another advantage of this binder is that it evaporates faster than aqueous-based binders, allowing quicker drying times.
