ExOne Partners With Sandvik Additive Manufacturing To Advance Binder Jetting
The ExOne Company is strengthening its material collaboration with Sandvik Additive Manufacturing to advance binder jet manufacturing. The collaboration leverages ExOne’s knowledge of binder jetting print machines and processes with Sandvik’s expertise in materials technology, metal powders, different additive manufacturing (AM) processes for metals, and post processing technologies like machining and heat treatment.
The material collaboration will focus on qualifying and optimising Sandvik’s Osprey metal powders with ExOne’s binder jetting machines. The collaboration will include studying powder and binder interactions, developing 3D machine process settings, and creating post-processing heat treatments for various materials, initially including stainless steels, tool steels, and nickel alloys. The purpose of the partnership is to create a leading-edge process solution that can be offered to a broad industrial customer base.
“We are excited to announce our material collaboration partnership with Sandvik Additive Manufacturing. Sandvik is a world class engineering company with extensive knowledge of materials and their applications to various industries. We look forward to advancing ExOne’s binder jetting process with this new collaboration and creating new solutions that enable broader customer adoption,” said ExOne CEO John Hartner.
Mikael Schuisky, VP and head of R&D and operations at Sandvik Additive Manufacturing, said, “This material collaboration will strengthen our ongoing R&D cooperation with ExOne even further. It also offers great opportunities to qualify our leading Osprey metal powders for the ExOne platform, to enhance end customer productivity and product performance.”
Sandvik has multiple ExOne binder jetting machines. It is also a beta customer for ExOne’s new X1 25PRO production machine.
