WEBINAR: Elevating Additive and Traditional Manufacturing With Advanced High-Purity Sintering

In today’s competitive manufacturer environment, sintering comes with many challenges. There are long wait times to acquire systems, with extensive facility requirements. Most systems also come with high operating and maintenance costs — not to mention complex setups for some materials, such as titanium, due to common retort contamination.

Join us in this webinar to learn how to overcome these challenges with expert speakers from Desktop Metal. They will be using the newly launched PureSinter™ Furnace, a debind + sintering vacuum furnace, as an example to illustrate lessons learned for metal sintering.

Taking place on October 22nd, attendees will be able to learn more about a variety of topics including:

• Understanding the common issues faced in powder metal sintering —such as contamination, costly repairs, and the maintenance demands of traditional industrial sintering furnaces.
• Learning what is needed to address these issues, this will be illustrated with the PureSinter™ Furnace with its no H₂ generator requirements, lower power consumption, and minimal maintenance. Furthermore, the furnace has advantages like high-temperature capabilities (up to 1,420°C), rapid cooling resulting in fast sintering cycles, and superior ease-of-use features.
• Hearing the experience from a manufacturer to see how to cut down on downtime and maintenance, while meeting high-volume production demands.

Attendees will leave with a clear understanding of to improve their sintering process, reduce operational costs, enhance production quality, and offer long-term reliability—all with easier implementation and lower maintenance demands. Register for free HERE.
