An additive manufacturing process that is a hybrid of powder bed fusion and some of the techniques used in binder jetting. Multiple inkjet print heads deposit material that either reflects or absorbs heat on the top layer of a powder bed. Then heat from a lamp is used to fuse the material where the absorbing chemicals were deposited. It is faster than selective laser sintering and creates stronger parts than binder jetting because the powder is fused and not bonded.
Similar to as high speed sintering (HSS) and selective absorption fusion (SAF).
Abbreviated as MJF.
