The Sierpinski triangle Fractal by
Metal Binder Jetting 3D Printing (BJT)
The Sierpinski triangle, also known as the Sierpinski gasket or Sierpinski sieve, is a fractal with the overall shape of an equilateral triangle, subdivided recursively into smaller equilateral triangles.
At INDO-MIM, we are at the forefront of advanced manufacturing, and we use cutting-edge technology to produce high-quality parts with the precision and efficiency that our clients demand.
Recently, we successfully manufactured a Fractal part in 316 L Stainless steel which is 30-gram gm in weight and 2.5 cm tall. This Fractal part is not feasible produce by any other conventional manufacturing technologies but possible with Additive Manufacturing process like Metal Binder Jet 3D printing.
Our production process was powered by the HP S100 Metal Jet 3D Printing machine, which boasts a large bed size of 430*309*140 mm, allowing us to print around 380 components in a single cycle. The surface finish of this part is an impressive 2.5 to 3 Ra and detailing of the small features is excellent.
Why We Chose Binder Jetting for 3D Printing?
Binder jetting is one of the most revolutionary 3D printing technologies. With many advantages, such as,
Material Versatility: Binder jetting can work with a variety of materials, such all types od steels, stainless steels, Nickel and Cobalt alloys or in general any material which is available in powder form and can be sintered. We have used 316L stainless steel for this part because it has excellent corrosion resistance and good mechanical properties.
Complex Profiles: This part has design has complex profiles with thin wall thickness. Binder Jet 3D Printing is outstanding for printing complex geometries at very high precision, ensuring the faithful production of even the most complex designs.
Support-Free Printing: One of the strengths of binder jetting is support-free printing. This freedom in the manufacturing process simplifies production, reduces material waste, and minimizes post-processing effort.
High-quality surface finish and high volume of production:
The HP 3D Printing machine gave us a superior surface finish of 2.5 to 3 Ra straight from the printer. It has a high-quality finish, which minimizes extensive post-processing, saving time and resources. Because of the large bed size, we can produce high volume components in single cycle.
Conclusion:
Binder Jet 3D Printing technology has indeed changed our capabilities at INDO-MIM. The capability to print complex thin-walled parts without supports and the efficiency of producing hundreds of components in one cycle mark out the benefits of this technology. Leverage on the capabilities of the HP 3D Printing machine is continued as we push on in additive manufacturing, to produce high-quality, precision-engineered parts for some of the world’s most demanding industries.
Welcome to INDO-MIM, the future of manufacturing: Enjoy the possibilities of Binder Jetting for high-quality parts with efficient production.
