NextGen LPBF at least as productive as MBJ... ...while keeping its advantage in material properties. Metal Binder Jetting (MBJ) SLM SOLUTIONS Laser Power Bed Fusion (LPBF) Example based on illustrative metal AM component: VS. Powder build-up rate 12,000 cm³/h Current build rate of <200 cm³/h with 15% Packing density Printing 15% "Green" part build-up rate: 1,200-2,400 cm³/h (depending on packing density) potential of Printing >1000 cm³/h for NextGen >1,000 cm³/h (Green) part build-up rate c.1,800 cm³/h Debinding Debinding and sintering required to turn "green" part into solid metal part Little to no post- production required Post- Processing N/A Part volume shrinkage during post-processing 45% >1,000 cm³/h Final metal part build-up rate c.990 cm³/h Sintering Requires between 16 to 32h for both steps Does not include additional time required 21 Source: AM Power; Company disclosure; SLM; Wielage, B. et al. (2010). Utilisation potential of water-atomised metal powders for thermal spraying. Note: Compares NextGen LPBF technology with latest single pass MBJ machines.
