Application: De-powdering of green samples using freezing method for additive manufacturing (Patent ID: US20230416154A1)
The patent filed by Entegris Inc. describes a method for producing articles using a green part that includes powder particles, ink, and optionally a binder. The method involves cooling the green part to below the freezing point of the ink to form a hardened mass and loosely-attached powder particles, which are then removed. The removed powder particles can be recycled and reused. The powder particles used can be temperature-sensitive materials such as zeolite, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), metals, ceramics, pharmaceutical drug materials, or composites of zeolite and MOFs.
The method also includes sintering the hardened mass after removing the loosely-attached powder particles. The ink used can be deionized water, alcohol, or a combination thereof, while the binder can be bentonite clay, kaolin, silica, or a combination. The size of the powder particles ranges from 2 µm to 100 µm, and the cooling temperature should be below the freezing point of the ink. The system associated with the method includes components for producing the green part, cooling it, and removing the loosely-attached powder particles, with an optional component for sintering the hardened mass. The removal of powder particles can be done using tools like a brushing tool, compressed air, or a vacuuming tool.
