| abstract |
A method of manufacturing a green body part comprises depositing a layer of a powder (202) on a working surface (204) and selectively depositing a binder solution (206) comprising a thermoplastic binder (216), a fluorescent material, and a binder medium into the layer of powder (202) in a pattern representative of a structure of a layer of the green body part. The thermoplastic binder (216) comprises one or more polymer strands dissolved in a solvent medium having an average molecular weight from greater than or equal to 7,000 g/mol to less than or equal to 100,000 g/mol. Binder solutions comprising fluorescent material and green body parts adhered together using the same are also disclosed. |
