A jetted binder printing system includes a carrier substrate configured to travel along a longitudinal direction thereof, an adjustable binder printer configured to deliver an adjustable binder to the carrier substrate, a dispensing module located downstream from the adjustable binder printer on the longitudinal direction of the carrier substrate, the dispensing module including at least one powder container, the dispensing module being configured to dispense powder onto the carrier substrate, and a primary binder printer located downstream from the compaction module along the longitudinal direction of the carrier substrate. The primary binder printer includes a print head configured to print a primary binder on the dispensed powder according to a desired pattern. The primary binder is printed on a surface of the powder that is opposite a surface on which the adjustable binder is printed. The primary binder is printed to match the pattern of the adjustable binder.

The present disclosure generally relates to methods for additive manufacturing (AM) that utilize powder removal ports in the process of building objects, as well as novel support structures including powder removal ports to be used within these AM processes. The objects include walls defining regions of unfused powder. The powder removal ports include at least one tube aligned with an opening in the walls to allow removal of the powder. The methods include removing unfused powder from the enclosed space via the at least one tube.

Golf club components with complex such as lattice structures, beam structures, and complex surface-based structures, are described herein. A binder jet machine is used create complex structures within these golf club components to optimize weighting, sound, and performance of golf club heads. These components may be manufactured using a method that preferably includes the steps of designing a golf club head component in CAD using optimization software, printing the component from a powdered material, and then removing excess powder from the component via port holes that extend into an external surface of the component and communicate with interior voids within the component.

A modeling method for a workpiece and the workpiece are provided. When the workpiece, at least a part of the workpiece has a hollow region and two or more openings linking an inside and the outside of the hollow region, is additively manufactured, a temporary closure to block at least one of the two or more openings of the hollow region is manufactured at a same time as laminating of a wall section of the hollow region. A peripheral edge of the temporary closure joined to the wall section, and the temporary closure has a flow hole allowing a fluid to flow in or out of the hollow region, then the temporary closure is removed after the fluid has flowed in or out.
