Ever heard of binder jetting (BJT)? It's an evolving technology that is quickly catching up to metal injection molding (MIM). Compared to MIM, BJT has a lower cost per part rate, produces larger parts, and, because BJT is a cold process, it does not introduce residual stress inside the part.
Even though BJT is a cold process, sintering is a key step in BJT. Read this best of the web article to learn the ins-and-outs of sintering with binder jetting.
An excerpt:
"Vacuum sintering furnaces are usually the go-to choice for sintering of [binder jetting] parts, thanks to the ability to provide bright and shiny sintered parts, the tight process parameters control and the possibility to work with different debinding and sintering atmospheres."
