IFAM Fraunhofer’s Sinter-based Additive Manufacturing Workshop 2025 programme released
Fraunhofer IFAM, Dresden, Germany, has released its programme for its Sinter-based Additive Manufacturing workshop, taking place from October 8-9, 2025, in Bremen, Germany. For the sixth time, this event will present and discuss the challenges and opportunities for serial production with Sinter-based Additive Manufacturing technologies along the value chain.
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.
The event programme is as follows:
