Abstract
The present invention relates to a slip-based process for producing a component which provides the use of a washout agent for removing excess material, and a device for carrying out the process according to the invention.
Claims13
A process for producing a three-dimensional component by additive manufacturing, comprising the steps of:
- a) depositing a slip comprising powder particles to obtain a slip layer;
- b) reducing the moisture content of the slip layer;
- c) depositing a binder on the powder layer according to a cross-section of the desired component;
- d) contacting said powder bed with a liquid cleaning medium to obtain the desired component
- e) repeating steps a) to c) to obtain a powder bed with the component embedded therein;
- characterized in that a washout agent is selectively deposited at least partially onto the regions not wetted with the binder.
