The comparison test conducted by CETIM, the French national research organization, on Digital Metal's unique binder jetting method and laser beam melting method (LBM, also known as SLM) for metal 3D printers yielded very attractive results. The results indicate that Digital Metal's productivity significantly surpasses that of LBM while also reducing the cost per part. The binder jetting method has the following characteristics compared to the laser beam melting method: - Productivity: 5 times higher - Manufacturing cost: 1/3 - Surface quality: Average surface roughness about 1/3 - Shape: No support needed Verification conditions (Width: 23.3mm, Height: 23.7mm, Weight: 21.7g) You can view an interview with CETIM engineers in the related product "Digital Metal(R) Case Study 2 (Comparison Edition)." Next exhibitions: January 30 - February 1, 2019, TCT (Tokyo), February 6-8, Next Generation Printer Exhibition (Tokyo).
