Jewelry production by Binder Jetting Additive Manufacturing: our experience on Platinum 950 and Silver 925

Andrea Friso

The presentation continues the work previously presented at TJS in 2023 and is focused on the usage of Binder Jet technology for production of jewelry in Silver 925 and Platinum 950 alloy powders. Results from the use of 3D binder jetting systems with different precious metals based powders at our laboratories in Bressanvido, Italy will be showed; the experience so far proves Binder Jetting to be a realistic player in the world of jewelry production by additive manufacturing, although still undergoing a learning curve.
