3DX Industries，Inc。, a Seattle-based precision manufacturer is using metal 3D printing for serial production.
A series of production run parts were 3D printed for use byAlaska General Seafoods (AGS)。金属添加剂组件是由3DX设计的，作为阿拉斯加海鲜加工公司罐头罐的替代零件。
Binder jet 3D printing was used with the parts requiring no post machining. From the photos available, some degree of post-processing is apparent.
极端条件的制造
生产经验丰富的一些苛刻的条件in Alaska meant the spare parts had to be of the highest standard. 3DX President and CEO Roger Janssen said,
“在极端条件下，知道这些部分将在如此遥远的位置中使用，这是我们很高兴解决的挑战。由于这些部分不符合OEM标准，因此无法选择其处理设施的任何关闭。了解成品的强度，我们相信它将满足对这些零件的需求。”
Reducing production time and cost
根据Janssen先生的说法，使用Binder Jetting生产带来了真正的好处，“给客户的时间和成本节省仍然是与传统制造过程相比。”
阿拉斯加将军的卡里·拉蒂格（Karry Lattig）说：“我们对这些零件在生产季节的表现感到非常满意。他们处于我们生产线的高度接触/高使用部门，他们的表现超出了我们的期望。”
After 2 full seasons under extreme conditions, there is virtually no wear on these parts, which in comparison to the original parts we were using is nothing short of exceptional. There has been no shut down required to remove and replace worn parts using the metal printed parts from 3DX which has not only saved us time, but costs as well. We will continue to use 3DX Industries to supply us with new and replacement parts for our facilities as needed throughout the coming seasons.
While binder jetting is not new in the 3D printing industry, it has surged in popularity in the past year.

对金属添加剂制造的粘合剂喷射的新兴趣可以归因于新的市场参与者，例如桌面金属。雷电竞充值但是，据报道，Tech Unicorn并不是Binder Jet专家Exone的唯一受益人，据报道，潜在客户的查询有所增加。
