What is 3D Printing?
A method to solve the 3D problem …by 2D layer adding
June 2015 © voxeljet AG, Friedberg, Germany6
What is 3D Printing (3DP)
Variety of different processes with common characteristics
• 3D problem solved by 2D layer-based process
• additive (material application)
• fully-automated
• simple to operate
• integrated data base
• freedom of design
• full control of production time and spot
• production costs per part independent from lot size
• independent from “cheap” labor

High Speed Sintering (HSS)
Invented by:
• Prof. Neil Hopkinson, LU
• Dr. Silvia Monsheimer, Evonik
June 2015 © voxeljet AG, Friedberg, Germany48
HSS Main idea
MeltingChemical binding
New
• Strength up to 25MPa
• Elongation up to 1,5%
• Significant, specific aging
• Strength up to 50MPa
• Elongation up to 15%
• Well known aging
June 2015 © voxeljet AG, Friedberg, Germany49
Benefits
• Higher productivity vs. SLS
• (potentially) bigger Build envelopes possible
• Better recyclability of unprinted powder
• Lower costs of operation
• Broader range of materials
