Sintering: Innovation in the Manufacturing of Metal and Plastic Parts

The sintering is one of the most advanced technologies in the manufacture of parts, especially in sectors that require high precision and efficiency, such as automotive and industrial engineering. At PROTOSPAINwe have integrated this technique into our processes to offer fast and high quality solutions to our customers.

What is sintering?

The sintering is a manufacturing process that consists of compacting and heating metal or plastic powders without completely melting them. The objective is to fuse the particles together, creating a solid and resistant piece. This process is highly efficient, since it allows the manufacture of components with complex geometries and high precision without the need for subsequent machining.

Advantages of sintering in manufacturing

1. Waste reduction: By using powders that are compacted and solidified, sintering generates very little waste compared to other manufacturing methods.
2. High precision: Parts obtained by sintering usually have very tight tolerances, which reduces the need for additional machining processes.
3. Material flexibility: Sintering can be applied to a wide range of materials, both metallic and plastic, making it ideal for different industrial applications.
4. Manufacture of complex geometries: This process allows the creation of parts with complicated shapes that would be difficult or costly to produce using other traditional methods.
5. Competitive cost: As an automated and efficient process, sintering offers competitive costs, especially in the production of short series or prototype parts.
