FAQs
Here are some of the most common questions we receive from our current and prospective clients.
One of Azoth’s strengths lies in our metallurgical expertise and our ability to leverage it in the additive manufacturing process. Azoth has metallurgical expertise and experience working with all types of different materials including but not limited to:
- Materials that are manufactured to MPIF specifications
- Stainless steels 316L, 17-4 PH
- D2 Tool Steel
- Ti6AIV, MAR247, Inconel 625
- Nickel based alloys
- Titanium
- Copper
- Many more materials
Furthermore, Azoth leverages world-class sintering technology which is critical in achieving optimal mechanical properties. This allows Azoth to process any metal with any binder in a one step debinding and sintering cycle, without having to move the parts.
Utilizing Azoth’s 3D binder jet metal printing, engineers have the design freedom to create innovative parts. No longer do you have to worry about drafting angles for molds, tool life, machinability, and if the part can even be reached during machining. With additive manufacturing, you can break free of the restraints of traditional manufacturing and produce innovative certified finished parts. If you can dream it, we can produce it.
Binder jetting is the ideal metal printing process for manufacturing small, complex shapes in high detail. This technology originated at MIT in 1993.
It involves a liquid binding agent that joins powder particles to form an object. Like all additive processes, the object or part is built layer by layer.
Binder jetting is considered a cold process. No heat is used to unite the powder and binder. The high heat used in other additive processes can introduce residual stresses into a part.
When the process is complete, the part, which is now considered a green part, undergoes a curing step to activate the binder. These green parts are considered unfinished and some may be physically fragile to handle.
The next step is post processing to finish the part. Most post processing consists of a heat treatment, known as sintering, in which the green part is heated to near its melting temperature to become a fully dense metal part. Temperatures can easily reach 1400 C. This process removes the binder material and strengthens the part’s mechanical properties. This process shrinks the overall dimensions of a part by roughly 20%, but this is accounted for in the green part. Proper design can account for the potential of shrinkage so that tolerances are not affected.
A final finishing step may occur in the form of polishing or plating to achieve aesthetically pleasing surfaces. Post heat treatment and machining are also options to improve part performance.
All you need to do is upload your design or specs into Azoth’s SMARTRFQ system and engineers will turn around a quote within 24 hours. For some parts, you can receive a quote instantly.
Azoth has the ability to set up machines at your facility to produce parts on-demand. Azoth also has the ability to easily connect with your inventory system and print and ship off parts from its main production facility as well.
