What is it about?
Selective Inhibition Sintering or SIS is a novel platform 3D Printing technology that is capable of fabricating parts out of polymers, metals and ceramics. In this paper, the development of a high resolution metal 3D printer based on a commercial piezoelectric inkjet technology is explained. It is shown that this machine can produce high resolution metallic parts with a significant reduction in cost compared to other commercial metal 3D printers.

Why is it important?
SIS-metal technology has several advantages over other technologies which are mentioned in the paper. The most important advantage however, is its ability in fabricating high-resolution and high-quality metallic parts with orders of magnitude reduction in cost. With the utilization of SIS in a commercial 3D printer, a larger group of engineers and innovators will benefit from the opportunities that 3D printing has created in the modern world.
