Metal & Ceramic Binder Jetting

3DPTEK-J400P — Production-Scale Binder Jetting for Metal and Ceramic Parts

When your R&D phase is done and you are ready to produce — the J400P delivers. 380 × 380 × 300 mm build volume, 3 or 6 high-resolution printheads, and up to 3.6 L/h (metal) or 5.3 L/h (ceramic) throughput. Print MIM-ready metal and ceramic parts at volumes that make traditional tooling look slow and expensive.

Metal Binder Jetting: The Production Technology Between Prototype and Mass Manufacturing

There are three ways to make metal parts at scale. Only one eliminates tooling without sacrificing throughput.

Traditional MIM requires a dedicated mold for every part design — weeks of fabrication, significant tooling cost, and zero flexibility when the design changes. The J400P eliminates the mold entirely.

Comment ça marche : du fichier CAO à la pièce métallique finie

Metal binder jetting in 7 steps — the J400P is your bridge from R&D parameters to pilot production volumes.

1

Conception CAO

Create or import your 3D model. Export as STL/3MF. Standard CAD formats — no proprietary file types.

2

Découpe et mise en place

AFSWin3DP-L software slices the model. Define binder saturation, layer thickness and print strategy.

3

Impression par projection de liant

Powder spreader deposits a uniform layer. Multi-nozzle inkjet head binds at up to 3.6 L/h across 380 × 380 mm.

4

Pièce « Cure Green »

Printed "green" parts are cured to harden the binder. The build chamber handles full 300 mm height.

5

Délier

Thermal or solvent debinding removes the binder. Compatible with standard MIM debinding equipment.

6

Frittage

High-temperature furnace fuses metal particles to 98%+ density. Shrinkage is uniform and compensated in software.

7

Pièce métallique finie

Production-ready component. Optional: CNC finishing, polishing, heat treatment per application spec.

Dual-Platform Materials: Metal & Ceramic

The J400P is one of the few systems in its class that switches between metal and ceramic printing — with over 30 validated material process formulas and 20+ binder formulations in 5 series.

Production Advantages Over Traditional MIM Tooling

The J400P transforms how MIM factories approach pilot production and small-to-medium batch manufacturing. Eliminate the bottleneck that slows every new part introduction: the mold.

Foire aux questions

Answers to the questions MIM and metal parts manufacturers ask most before investing in a binder jetting system.

  • The 3DPTEK-J400P supports stainless steels (304/316L/420/17-4PH), titanium alloys (TC4), copper alloys, superalloys (IN625/IN718), tungsten alloys, tool steels (4140/H13) and silicon carbide — over 30 validated material process formulas. Full material parameter sheets are included with every system, and 3DPTEK offers material qualification for custom powder formulations.

  • The J400P uses only 15% binder versus MIM's 40-50%, so larger parts can be printed and sintered without cracking. It eliminates mold tooling entirely — print directly from CAD, test multiple design variants in a single build, and use your existing MIM debinding and sintering furnaces without process requalification. It is a drop-in upgrade to the front of an existing MIM line.

  • Le délai de livraison standard est de 8 à 12 semaines à compter de la confirmation de la commande. L'installation et la formation des opérateurs (3 à 5 jours sur site) sont incluses avec chaque système. Les ingénieurs de 3DPTEK se chargent du déballage, du positionnement, de l'étalonnage et de la vérification de la première pièce imprimée.

  • Oui. L'équipe d'ingénierie d'application de 3DPTEK assure le développement des paramètres, la sélection des liants, l'optimisation des profils de frittage et la vérification des propriétés mécaniques. Nous avons développé 5 séries de liants comprenant plus de 20 formulations et plus de 30 recettes de traitement des matériaux. Des formules d'assistance à distance et sur site sont disponibles.

  • The J400P features a quick-change build module and dedicated binder circuits. Metal mode uses WU08 (water-based) or SU06 (solvent) binders at 3.6 L/h. Ceramic mode switches to the CU02 binder at 5.3 L/h. Changeover takes under 30 minutes. Both modes share the same AFSWin3DP-L control software with material-specific parameter libraries.

  • Yes. All process parameters, binder selections and material qualifications developed on the J160R transfer directly to the J400P. 3DPTEK offers trade-in programs and package pricing for customers scaling from R&D to pilot production. The same AFSWin3DP-L software and binder formulations are used across all BJ platforms.
