Abstract:
A binder jet printed article includes a part having a top portion, a bottom portion, and an overhang extending from the top portion and a support structure formed around the part that may block deformation of the part during post-printing thermal processing. The support structure includes a skid positioned adjacent to the bottom portion that may support the part, a first plurality of support features disposed along an outer perimeter of the skid, and a second plurality of support features disposed on the top portion of the printed part. The first and second plurality of support features form a lattice around the printed part such that the printed part is nested within the support structure.
