MoldJet® Technology by Tritone

Powder-Free Metal & Ceramic 3D Printing for Production

Produce thousands of identical metal and ceramic parts with >99% sintered density - no loose powder, no support structures, no tooling required.

What is MoldJet?

MoldJet® is a paste-based metal and ceramic additive manufacturing technology designed for production—not prototyping. Unlike powder-based additive manufacturing processes, MoldJet uses high-density metal or ceramic paste to produce production-ready parts in a clean, controlled workflow. This powder free metal 3D printing process is built for repeatable, high-volume manufacturing.

How MoldJet Works

Mold Printing 1

Precision Mold Printing

A disposable mold is printed layer by layer with high precision to define the final part geometry.

Material Deposition 2

High-Density Paste Deposition

Metal or ceramic paste is deposited into the printed mold cavity, eliminating the need for loose metal powder while enabling complex part designs.

Thermal Debinding   Sintering Stage 1

Sintering

After debinding, parts are sintered to greater than 99% sintered density, delivering mechanical properties matching traditional Metal Injection Molding (MIM).

MoldJet Benefits 

  • Powder-free production: Eliminate loose metal powder from your shop floor. Safer, cleaner, standard industrial environment.
  • Open material platform: Stainless steels, tool steels, titanium, copper (in qualification), ceramics (in qualification), and customer-developed materials. Gold and silver feasibility demonstrated. Switch materials in approximately 30 minutes.
  • Production-grade density: >99% sintered density with mechanical properties matching traditional MIM.
  • AI-powered quality assurance: Every layer analysed during production. Defective layers auto-removed and reprinted.
  • No support structures: Complex internal geometries, undercuts, and overhangs without support material.
  • Hands-free post-processing: No manual intervention from print to sintered part.
  • Production economics: Competitive unit costs at 1,000–100,000+ parts/year with no tooling investment.

Production quality, not prototype quality.

Comparison Table: Metal Manufacturing

MoldJet is a paste-based metal additive manufacturing technology designed to bridge the gap between metal binder jetting, direct metal laser sintering (DMLS/SLM), and traditional metal injection molding (MIM). By combining powder-free operation, high-density material deposition, and production-scale throughput, it delivers an alternative for manufacturers that need production-quality metal parts without the complexity of powder handling or the cost and lead time of dedicated tooling.

Why MoldJet Outperforms Traditional Metal Manufacturing

Post_Sanding

Powder-Free vs. Binder Jetting

Cleaner production with no loose metal powder. Unlike binder jetting, MoldJet uses high-density paste and enables material changeovers in approximately 30 minutes

Injection Molding

No Supports vs DMLS/SLM

Produce complex internal geometries without support structures. Unlike DMLS/SLM, MoldJet reduces post-processing while enabling greater design freedom

No Tooling

No Tooling vs MIM

Achieve >99% sintered density and MIM-like mechanical properties. Unlike traditional MIM, MoldJet eliminates tooling investment and moves from design to production in days
