Metal Powder Industries Federation

These Metal Powder Industries Federation (MPIF) 2024 PM Design Excellence Awards Competition Conventional Press & Sinter Award of Distinction winning components are used in the assembly of the transmission for a rear style garden tiller. The conversion of 7 gears from wrought steel to PM reduced the amount of scrap produced by machining and had significant cost savings.

The Autumn 2024 issue of @PIM International magazine is out now!   PIM International magazine is dedicated to reporting on the technical advances in the MIM, CIM and sinter-based AM technologies such as Binder Jetting, Material Extrusion (MEX, FFF) and Vat Photopolymerisation (VPP). Their magazine and newsletters are of great value to those interested in this advanced manufacturing technology for the production of complex, high volume net-shape components.   Get your free PDF download here: https://bit.ly/3TP01sd Discover more: https://lnkd.in/gX8ESGzp

This Metal Powder Industries Federation (MPIF) 2024 PM Design Excellence Awards Competition Metal Injection Molding (MIM) Grand Prize winning core plate is used for in a Braille display tablet that allows vision impaired people to experience an entirely new way to access dynamic content and multi-line braille. The parts are used in the first device able to display tactile graphics that move and change beneath the user’s fingers. Waste from traditional machining would have exceeded 40%, and cost more than ten times the MIM parts.

This Metal Powder Industries Federation (MPIF) 2024 PM Design Excellence Awards Competition Metal Additive Manufacturing (AM) Grand Prize winning firearms suppressor is built layer by layer using the laser powder-bed-fusion (LPBF) process, with either a titanium-aluminum-vanadium alloy or a nickel-chromium alloy. LPBF provided the opportunity to manufacture very complex suppressor designs that contain no mechanical joints and permits design details that are not achievable through traditional manufacturing processes. Multiple suppressor designs can be built during one machine cycle.

This Metal Powder Industries Federation (MPIF) 2024 PM Design Excellence Awards Competition Conventional Press & Sinter Grand Prize winning hub is used in the clutch of a transfer case of a four-wheel-drive car. PM was selected over a machined forging due to its ability to combine complex part shape, high accuracy of some features without machining, low material waste, and a competitive cost. A 25% reduction in material waste was achieved compared with machining the part from a forging. Congratulations AMES GROUP SINTERING S.A. on your Press & Sinter design! Follow this exciting metal-forming solution by visiting PickPM.com. #powdermetallurgy #advancedmanufacturing #PickPM

This Metal Powder Industries Federation (MPIF) 2024 PM Design Excellence Awards Competition Metal Injection Molding (MIM) Award of Distinction winning 45-caliber bullet is a solid copper projectile that uses a feedstock that contains 99.8% copper along with a proprietary binder formulation to ensure even and complete sintering with minimal distortion. The petals were redesigned for better suitability during molding. Congratulations ARC Group Worldwide, Inc. and customer @Halo Ammunition on your MIM design! Follow this exciting metal-forming solution by visiting PickPM.com. #powdermetallurgy #advancedmanufacturing #PickPM #MIM

These Metal Powder Industries Federation (MPIF) 2024 PM Design Excellence Awards Competition Metal Additive Manufacturing (AM) Award of Distinction winning electromedical connector components (a set screw, set screw block, and a spring housing) mate with the associated catheter and provide mechanical feedback to the surgeon ensuring proper insertion of the catheter in the patient. Congratulations Azoth 3D, and customer @Sur-Set Connect LLC on your metal AM design! Follow this exciting metal-forming solution by visiting PickPM.com. #powdermetallurgy #advancedmanufacturing #PickPM
