The consistent high quality of sintered parts produced by Metal Injection Moulding, or AM processes such as Binder Jetting, can only be achieved with stable manufacturing conditions. Inhomogeneous and transient temperatures in sintering furnaces are one area where variability can be difficult to manage. This article outlines how simulation can lead to an optimal set up for the sintering process – or at least a best compromise – via the assessment of many possible process variations. Dr Götz Hartmann and Dr Wilfried Schäfer, MAGMA GmbH, and Dr Jesper Thorborg, Technical University of Denmark, share the results of recent research. ... Read more »
