Sandstone
Sandstone 3D printing, also known as full-color 3D printing, is a type of 3D printing technology that produces high-resolution, full-color 3D models using a process called binder jetting. In binder jetting, a thin layer of powdered material, such as sandstone, is spread over a build platform. Then, a print head deposits a liquid binding agent onto the powder in the shape of the desired object. This process is repeated layer by layer until the entire object is complete. The resulting sandstone 3D prints are characterized by their high resolution, fine detail, and full color. They are often used in architectural models, product prototypes, and visual aids for medical and educational purposes. Sandstone 3D printing is a relatively inexpensive and fast process compared to other full-color 3D printing technologies, such as color jetting, which uses liquid ink droplets to create color. However, the finished parts are relatively brittle and porous, making them unsuitable for functional applications.
