MJT (Metal)
Material Jetting / Nanoparticle Jetting
ISO/ASTM Material Jetting family. In metal AM, nanoparticle-laden inks are jetted from print heads and dried. (Significantly less widespread than PBF or DED.)
Operating Principle & Process Flow
Operating Principle: An inkjet printhead jets a suspension of liquid and metal nanoparticles. The liquid evaporates immediately upon contact with the heated build plate.
Process Flow: Layer-by-layer evaporation of suspension ink -> Green part creation -> Sintering in furnace.
Technical Specifications
- Energy Source: Heated build plate for evaporation, sintering furnace.
- Feedstock / Material Feed: Cartridges with nanoparticle ink.
- Typical Part Size: Very small (micro parts).
- Build Rate: Low to medium.
- Accuracy: Extremely high (often in the sub-micrometre range).
- Surface Quality: Excellent (due to minute droplet size).
Applications & Materials
Typical Materials: Mostly stainless steels, silver, gold.
Typical Applications: Electronic components, antennas, micromechanics.
Industries: Electronics industry, research & academia.
