A binder that bleeds into the powder, a first layer that will not stick, a metal powder lot that streaks the recoater: these additive manufacturing failures start with wetting. Contact angle and surface tension checks on powders, binders, build plates and resin films catch them before a build is spent. Used in polymer, binder jet and metal powder bed printing.
Use cases showing how wetting, contact angle, and surface energy screening catch build plate contamination, binder powder drift, and powder bed condition problems before a print starts.
Binder Jet Additive Manufacturing
Stops variability in binder jet 3D printing by measuring binder powder wetting behavior before you print, catching bleeding, weak green parts, and dimensional drift upstream of a build.
Polymer 3D Print Adhesion Diagnostics
Catches first layer adhesion and resin release problems before printing, by measuring build plate, vat film and part surfaces across FDM, SLA and DLP.
Powder Bed Fusion Additive Manufacturing
Screens each metal powder lot for moisture, oxidation and contamination drift before it is loaded, before it becomes recoater streaks or build defects.
