Debinding Debinding is a post-processing step in metal or ceramic 3D printing that involves removing the binder material from a printed part. In processes like Binder Jetting or Metal Fused Filament Fabrication (MFFF), the binder holds the powdered material together during printing. Once the part is complete, debinding removes the binder through thermal, chemical, or solvent-based methods, leaving behind a porous "green part." This green part is then sintered to achieve its final density and mechanical properties. Proper debinding is essential to prevent defects like cracking or deformation during the sintering stage. It is a critical step in producing high-performance parts for industrial applications. |
