The third Munich Technology Conference: The challenge of AM adoption and the inside track on aviation
Now in its third year, the Munich Technology Conference series has achieved a remarkable status in its short history. It is recognised not only for bringing together the most powerful and influential minds in the international AM community, but for engaging them in open and broad-ranging discussions on the future of the industry.
It is also an event that unashamedly ‘wears its heart on its sleeve’, having grown from the optimism of MTC1 to MTC2’s call for vital collaboration, and a ‘reality check’ in the face of economic uncertainty at MTC3. Metal AM magazine’s Emily-Jo Hopson reports.
From atomisation to analysis: How Carpenter Additive is delivering improved material reliability, economics and quality

Thinking about metal Binder Jetting or FFF? Here is (almost) everything you need to know about sintering
With the arrival of high-volume metal Binder Jet systems and a growing interest in metal Fused Filament Fabrication, the AM industry is set for a new phase of growth. The ability to use this new generation of systems for the production of ‘green’ parts is, however, only half of the story.
The sintering of these parts to create large quantities of finished product to a consistent quality requires both an investment in furnaces that can cost in excess of $1 million each, and a thorough understanding of sintering.
In this article, Prof Randall German, the leading authority on the science of sintering, outlines the process and its core challenges.
