Desktop Metal’s Live Sinter is a manufacturing preparation software for the successful production of powder metal sintered parts. Learn more about how Live Sinter software solutions help customers 3D print and sinter metal parts successfully.
Overview
Sintering is a key step in the metal binder jet 3D printing workflow. However, many parts experience warpage in the furnace that can lead to unsatisfactory final results. Rather than fight the effects of gravity, friction, shrinkage, and distortion, Desktop Metal Live Sinter software embraces nature to provide manufacturers with advanced simulation to predict and correct for errors when sintering 3D-printed parts.
Key Takeaways
- Learn more about the causes of sintering distortion and the Live Sinter software solutions helping customers 3D print and sinter metal parts successfully
- Explore examples with models of sintering behavior that simulate shrinkage and generate negative offset geometries
- Review a scan adjustment workflow to help manufacturers obtain final parts that match the required specifications

Roberts is the inventor of two products at Desktop Metal in the generative design and simulation space. The first, Live Parts™, is a generative design tool that uses morphogenetic principles to enable engineers and designers to quickly realize the benefits of additive manufacturing. The second product, Live Sinter™, simulates sintering of powder metal parts, and transforms geometry to counteract the effects of distortion. A graduate of Harvard University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology with extensive experience at leading technology innovators such as Parametric Technology Corp., Ab Initio, and IBM, Roberts has a proven track record of bringing to market successful products for engineers and developers.
