    摘要: Three-dimensional printing processes are disclosed which utilize printable fluids comprising a carrier fluid, a polymeric binder, and nanoparticles. The three-dimensional printing processes are useful for making articles from a build material powder, e.g., a ceramic, metal, metal alloy, or intermetallic powder. The nanoparticles enable low temperature interparticle bonding of the build material powder particles, e.g., by forming bridging bonds between adjacent powder particles, and/or increasing the interparticle friction between the build material powder particles to enhance the structural strength of the as-built article during a thermal treatment over at least a part of the temperature range which has as its low end the temperature at which the structural strength due to the binder becomes insubstantial and as its high end the temperature at which the structural strength due to interparticle sintering of the build material powder becomes substantial, i.e., the article's debile temperature range. Green density improvements are achievable.

    摘要: Methods and systems (2) are disclosed for making articles (114) by three-dimensional printing. The methods include selectively printing by jet deposition on successive layers (4) of a build material powder (10) at least one of a first binder fluid and a second binder fluid. At least one of the first and second binder fluids includes a particulate matter (16) having mean particle size diameter which is less than that of the build material powder (10). The first binder fluid is characteristically different from the second binder fluid. The particulate matter (16) selectively deposited with a binder fluid can be used to locally tailor the physical properties of the article (114), e.g. by alloying with the build material powder, increasing densification, acting as a local infiltrant or infiltrant stop during heat treatment, locally modulating the local stress fields (e.g. by a mismatch of thermal coefficients of expansion), etc. Among the possible locally tailored properties is the surface finish of an interior or exterior surface of the article (114).

    摘要: Methods and systems (20) are disclosed for making articles by three-dimensional printing. The methods include three-dimensionally printing articles by selectively jet-depositing a particle-bearing binder fluid (14) upon successive layers (4) of a build material powder (10) such that the particles (16) deposited with the binder fluid (14) increase the apparent density of the as-printed article. The particulate matter (16) of the binder fluid (12) is smaller than the mean particle size of the build material powder (10). Preferably, this jet-deposited particulate matter (16) has a mean particle size that is larger than about 1 to and smaller than or equal to 50 microns. The jet-deposited matter (16) acts to fill in the interparticle interstices of the build material powder (10) thereby simultaneously increasing the density of the printed article and improving its surface roughness and contour resolution, which in turn, improves the surface finish of the final article. The systems (20) include binder fluid handling systems (26) which are adapted to jet a binder fluid (14) containing such particulate matter (16).
