PART 001: Binder Jetting Metal 3D Printing - A Revolutionary Manufacturing Method
?Traditional methods of manufacturing hydraulic components typically involve numerous processes, from design and manufacturing to testing, making them time-consuming and labor-intensive. However, Binder Jetting Metal 3D Printing (MBJ) technology is changing the game.

The process of Binder Jetting Metal 3D Printing involves the following steps:
- Slicing the 3D CAD model into a series of 2D data by using an array-type printhead.
- Subsequently, selectively jetting a binding agent into metal or ceramic powder to achieve solidification.
- This process is completed through layer-by-layer stacking, ultimately forming the entire printed part.
- Next, the printed part is placed in a curing furnace to gain strength.
- Excess powder is removed on a cleaning platform.
- Finally, through sintering, high-precision and high-performance metal or ceramic components are obtained.
This technology combines the sintering process of traditional metal injection molding, effectively addressing the challenges of slow speed and high cost, making it a viable solution for batch production.
This revolutionary manufacturing method has elevated metal 3D printing to new heights. By jetting a binder onto a bed of metal powder and layering it in a sequential manner, highly complex hydraulic components can be produced in a short period, eliminating the multiple steps required in traditional manufacturing. This not only significantly reduces manufacturing time but also lowers production costs while enhancing product quality and performance.

In the hydraulic industry, the manufacturing of hydraulic components has always been a critical aspect. The HiTalks 2023 - Smart Manufacturing of Hydraulic Components 3D Printing Seminar aims to explore the application of MBJ printing technology in the hydraulic field to provide more opportunities.
- Customized Design: MBJ printing technology supports customized designs based on specific requirements, enabling structural optimization for complex fluid channels. It also facilitates lightweight design, reducing equipment loads, improving energy efficiency, and minimizing material waste for positive environmental impact.
- Rapid Prototyping: MBJ printing technology excels in rapid prototyping, allowing designers to test and improve their designs quickly, thereby shortening the product development cycle.
- Complex Geometric Structures: MBJ printing technology can manufacture complex geometric structures that traditional methods cannot achieve, enhancing the performance and efficiency of hydraulic components for precise fluid control.
- Low Pressure Loss: MBJ-printed hydraulic components boast excellent internal surface quality, with smooth and defect-free channels, resulting in minimal flow resistance and pressure loss. This contributes to improved efficiency and performance in hydraulic systems.
- Reliable Structural Strength: MBJ printing technology provides precise manufacturing, making hydraulic components more robust and reducing the risk of leakage. It also allows for the integration of valve blocks and hydraulic valves, among other components, into a more compact structure.
These advantages make MBJ printing an innovative solution for manufacturing hydraulic components.
