International speakers from industry and R&D will provide insight into the latest advancements and industrial implementation of these technologies. The workshop programme will be supplemented by a pinboard-assisted general discussion, a tabletop exhibition and a Component Award competition.
Sinter-based Additive Manufacturing methods, such as Metal Binder Jetting or Lithography-based Metal AM, are currently considered the most promising route towards modern industrial series production. One of the main benefits of sinter-based AM is the ability to utilise a wide range of materials, including metals and ceramics; any sinterable powder material could potentially be used in this process.
