Metal 3D Printing
Powder Bed Fusion (PBF)
Uses a high-powered laser to fuse metal powder layer by layer. Commonly used for aerospace, medical, and automotive applications.
Bound Metal Deposition (BMD)
Similar to FDM but with metal-filled filament, requiring debinding and sintering to achieve final metal properties.
Binder Jetting (BJ)
A powder-based method where a binding agent is deposited onto metal powder, followed by sintering or infiltration to form solid metal parts. Used for cost-effective, high-volume production.
