Headmade Materials joins ColdMetalFusion Alliance to unite sinter industry & AM around robust manufacturing standards

Headmade Materials GmbH, the pioneer of ColdMetalFusion adds its self-developed and in-house manufactured binder system technology to the ColdMetalFusion Alliance for powder metallurgy, which enable customers to produce metal parts cost-effectively and in serial production. Further partners will join ColdMetalFusion later this year.

Unterpleichfeld, Germany – Headmade Materials GmbH today announces its move to join the ColdMetalFusion Alliance together with other major industry players. The company develops materials and applications for ColdMetalFusion.

The company already launched its 316L and Ti6Al4V materials and intends to launch 17/4PH stainless steel and M2 tool steel to serve a broad range of applications. In addition to that Headmade Materials showcases its strength in processing particularly difficult metals with the launch of its M2 tool steel for ColdMetalFusion. With these capabilities, Headmade Materials accompanies customers from application development and custom material development, all the way to large scale manufacturing.

ColdMetalFusion is an alliance of industry leaders with decades of experience in the fields of sintering, 3D printing and classical industrial manufacturing. Together, the Alliance members provide services, equipment, material, software and know-how to customers in the metal manufacturing industry.

“Headmade Materials is currently developing a broad range of key materials for the toolbox of application developers. The speed of this year’s development time makes us very enthusiastic about the future where we intend to provide tailor-made material solutions for our customers.” says Christian Staudigel, Co-CEO of Headmade Materials. “Thanks to ColdMetalFusion we were able to find applications where we can help customers change the rules of the game in their market. To enable this at large scale, we are looking forward to forge robust and reliable standards together with the Alliance.” says Christian Fischer, Co-CEO of Headmade Materials.

ColdMetalFusion’s vision is to industrialize additive manufacturing through common standards in between sintering and additive manufacturing. ColdMetalFusion members not only share standards, but also a common culture and way of thinking.  As “industrialists” with a long history, the members have an exigence of robustness and 24/7 operation of a factory. The joining of Headmade Materials is an important foundation to accelerate that vision for ColdMetalFusion.

On the Formnext exhibition in November in Frankfurt, Germany, ColdMetalFusion members will demonstrate the alliance’s mission of industrialization. Headmade Material will be present on the ColdMetalFusion booth where customers can experience the newly qualified materials for the first time in hall 11.1, booth D48.
