Special coatings

In many processes an application fails not because of the material but because of the particle surface: the powder does not flow, sinters incorrectly, or does not couple to the field. That is exactly where a mechanically applied layer helps.

Typical tasks

• Improve flowability and bulk density for powder-bed processes
• Set defined sintering behaviour for ceramic powders
• Increase wear resistance of printed parts via a hard-material layer
• The aim of the coating is to fix fine particles in a distributed manner on the carrier surface rather than introducing them as agglomerates
