Advanced sinter-bonding solution with MoldJet technology from Tritone

Joining of complex assemblies, production of large parts and hollow structures

Sinter bonding allows parts to be manufactured separately and then joined into a homogeneous unit. It is an advanced additive manufacturing technique in which parts of the same material are joined together by heating them to a temperature below their melting point. The particles are bonded together by diffusion to form a solid bond without the use of fluxes or adhesives. Uniform shrinkage of the parts and a smooth mating surface to ensure optimum sintering are key to successful bonding.

How MoldJet facilitates sinter bonding

Tritone 'sMoldJet technology can produce "green parts" (non-sintered parts) with high strength and density. As a result, the parts maintain mechanical stability throughout production - from transport to precise alignment to insertion into the sintering furnace. This minimises the risk of deformation and cracks. These properties are ideal for sintering joining.

Practical example

In this project, the pin and the base part were manufactured separately. While still in the "green" state, the pin was screwed into the part and the two components were sintered together. During the process, they were firmly fused together, resulting in a homogeneous, mechanically robust assembly.

Result

• Successful joining of complex shapes without the need for additional welding or gluing.
• Increased design possibilities in part design.
• More efficient production of large and hollow parts.

Tritone MoldJet thus opens up new possibilities for advanced engineering applications and extends the boundaries of metal 3D printing.
