Digital Metal is attracting significant interest in the field of AM (Additive Manufacturing). MTC has decided to introduce Digital Metal metal 3D printers, which will begin operation in August 2018. MTC is a cutting-edge facility established with the support of the UK government, focused on developing and demonstrating manufacturing solutions with advanced equipment and skilled engineers. MTC's Additive Manufacturing Center, NCAM, provides comprehensive AM knowledge from design to shipping. NCAM has taken the next step with the introduction of Digital Metal. The printer offers manufacturing capabilities for the industry, particularly for small, complex, and high-precision parts. Dr. David Brackett of NCAM stated, "Binder jetting is classified as sintering and allows for fast and complex shaping. It offers a wider material selection possibility compared to other AM methods that melt materials." Usama Attia of NCAM remarked, "I am impressed by the speed. The complexity of shapes, level of detail, tolerances, and surface finish are comparable to MIM (Metal Injection Molding)." Ralf Karlström of Digital Metal said, "Testing will begin within a week of delivery. We will conduct training to ensure safe and efficient operation."
