摘要：Binder jetting is a crucial process in additive manufacturing (AM) and is widely used in sand mold casting. This study explores the challenges of simulating binder droplets in ANSYS Fluent, including complexity and computational time. To overcome these challenges, we propose a geometric approach that models the binder droplet as a circular shape instead of an actual droplet. Additionally, the dynamic mesh feature is employed to transform the initial boundary condition into a wall condition at a specified time interval (Δt). This simplified approach eliminates the need to simulate actual droplets, leading to significant computational resource and time savings. By adopting this geometric approach, we can accurately predict the diffusion and penetration behavior of binder droplets with varying materials and volumes in porous media with different porosities. Through data analysis, it was found that the main variables affecting the diffusion diameter and penetration depth are binder volume and porosity. The successful implementation of this simplified model enables researchers and engineers to expedite the simulation of binder behavior, facilitating process optimization and enhancing the understanding of binder jetting technology in the field of additive manufacturing.
