MoldJet Technology Enables High-Throughput Metal, Ceramic Additive Manufacturing

Tritone Technologies’ MoldJet, Dominant and Dim technologies for metal and ceramic additive manufacturing (AM) are designed to enable industrial throughput of accurate parts with a range of metal and ceramic materials, suitable for the automotive, aerospace, medical and consumer electronics industries. The technology works with a wide selection of high-performance materials, including copper, stainless steels, titanium, tool steels, high temperature alloys, and ceramic across diverse applications.

MoldJet is a powder-free AM technology that enables production of metal and ceramic parts at industrial scale and speed. It is designed for producing complex geometry parts, with high density and great mechanical properties. The technology enables a quick and easy changeover between a wide variety of metals and ceramics, with parts of different geometries and applications manufactured in the same batch. Operational benefits include a powder-free and hands-free process, labor-free technology, highly robust green parts, a safe industrial environment and more.

The technology features a simultaneous process that produces large quantities of parts per shift utilizing a variety of metal alloys. The system creates fine detail and smooth surface quality with high printing resolution and precision for enabling complex part geometries. Part sizes can range from 2-mm to more than 400-mm parts. An auto layer correction feature enables real-time verification and control of the quality of each layer. Materials are delivered through sealed cartridges — suitable for a clean industrial environment. Robust green parts enable easy transition to sinter without damaging part quality.

The Dominant system utilizes the MoldJet technology for industrial throughput with a simultaneous process that exceeds throughput of 1,600 cc/hr to produce large quantities of parts per shift. The build volume is 400 × 240 × 120 mm (L × W × H) over 6 trays. The machine footprint is 3,200 × 2,200 × 1,900 mm (L × W × H).

The Dim system also offers industrial throughput with simultaneous process with this system exceeding throughput of 220 cc/hr. It features a build volume of 220 × 120 × 90 mm (L × W × H) over 4 trays. The machine footprint is 2,150 × 1960 × 1800 mm (L × W × H).
