Critical Point for Hybrid Process | Influence |
---|---|
Particle weight fraction | Same particle weight fraction in 2PP and LCM feedstocks ensures same shrinkage during sintering |
Polymer composition | Same polymer composition in 2PP and LCM feedstocks ensures homogeneous degassing during debinding |
Resin Viscosity | The 2PP resin viscosity shouldn’t exceed a certain value that it can penetrate pores in LCM printed substrate |
Washing and Drying of UV/LCM-part | Washing and Drying needs to be optimized to prevent passivation and roughening of the surface as well as cracking of the substrate |
