Meta-Additive-Ltd (Meta) have invented and patented a new additive manufacturing process which takes the benefits of standard binder jet printing and enhances it making it suitable for mass manufacturing. Meta is founded on the invention of a series of proprietary novel hierarchical binder systems. Taking the existing process of creating metals parts through binder-jet printing and making them faster, offering more material choice and resulting in better material properties including higher density, improved shrinkage, feature definition and surface finish.</ns2:abstractText></ns2:project>
