Zusammenfassung: | In additive manufacturing, composite build material filament and release material filament (each a composite of metal/ceramic powder plus binder) are dropped from respective spools to a print head. On the spools and over the drop height, the filaments are heated to a temperature that flexes the filaments but does not soften them to a breaking point, e.g., heated but below a glass transition temperature of a softener (for example, wax) of the binder. The drop height is of similar linear scale to the build plate. The materials are debound and sintered. |
