Dry Powder Bed Fusion Dry powder bed fusion is a 3D printing process that fuses layers of powdered material, such as metal or plastic, using a heat source like a laser or electron beam. Unlike wet methods, this process does not rely on binders or solvents, ensuring a high level of purity in the printed parts. The process is highly efficient, with unused powder acting as a support structure and being recyclable for future prints. Dry powder bed fusion is commonly used in aerospace, medical, and automotive industries for producing high-strength, lightweight, and complex components. Post-processing steps, such as sintering or polishing, further enhance the final product’s properties. |
