The M-Flex utilizes binder jetting technology in which a liquid binding agent is selectively deposited to join powder particles. Layers of material are then bonded to form an object. The post-processing required includes curing, depowdering, and sintering. Binder jetting is capable of printing a variety of materials including metals such as stainless steel, iron, bronze, tungsten, IN 625, as well as sands, glasses and ceramics.
