- Binder Jet Metal 3D Printer – Recently built and successfully tested 3D metal printing technology by engineers from GE Global Research, GE Aviation and GE Additive, printing ten times faster than current laser-based methods
- New Printing Capabilities – Utilizes special binder to glue together layers of complex parts on flatbed of metal powder, compared to laser-powered counterparts that use light beams to melt layers together
- Fragile Binders – Printed metal products need more extensive post-processing, as it comes out more fragile than laser-printed metal parts
