Binder jetting builds parts layer by layer by selectively depositing a liquid binder onto powdered material, which is later sintered or infiltrated to achieve full strength. On the other hand, pulsed laser ablation uses intense, short laser pulses to vaporize material from a solid target, ejecting atoms or clusters that can redeposit as thin films or coatings. In short, binder jetting bonds powder with a liquid adhesive to create 3D structures, while pulsed laser ablation removes, or in the case of pulsed laser fusion deposits, material using concentrated laser energy.
