System and method for fabricating a three-dimensional metal object using solid free-form fabrication
Abstract
A method for solid free-form fabrication of a three-dimensional metal object includes depositing a particulate blend (240) in a defined region (260), the particulate blend (240) including a number of metal or metal alloy particulates and a peroxide, and selectively ink-jetting a binder system (220) onto a predetermined area of the particulate blend (240) to form a green part, wherein the liquid phase binder (220) includes a water soluble monofunctional acrylate-based monomer, a water soluble difunctional acrylate-based monomer, an amine, and water.
