METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING WITH POWDER MATERIAL

Abstract:

A method for producing a three-dimensional model via additive manufacturing includes building a green block in a layerwise manner with a powder material and a solidifiable non-powder material. The green block includes a green usable model. The solidified non-powder material is removed from the green block to extract the green usable model from the green block and the density of the green usable model is increased by applying Cold Iso static Pressing (CIP). The green usable model is then sintered to produce a three-dimensional model.
