From Powder to Production-Ready Parts

We support our clients every step of the way — from material selection to validated parts ready for production.

In this video, our Materials Project Leader Céline LARIGNON, PhD shares how Norimat’s products and services help accelerate development through:
- Selection of materials and densification conditions
- Scaling up to validate performance under representative use conditions
- Choosing the best manufacturing route to meet geometry, tolerances, and property requirements

We believe that modeling isn't just a support function — it's a driver of efficiency, precision, and cost reduction in advanced manufacturing.

Our modeling and simulation capabilities allow us to:
- Understand and control temperature gradients within the sample and tooling
- Test different setups and configurations without financial implications
- Reduce development time during scale-up or when switching between SPS machines

In this short presentation, our Head of Modeling, Jennifer Mackie, PhD, shares how simulation is accelerating the industrial deployment of Spark Plasma Sintering.

Norimat's R&D team is pushing the boundaries of advanced manufacturing by hybridizing Additive Manufacturing with Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS/FAST).

This innovative approach allows us to:
- Manufacture near-net shape parts
- Achieve superior mechanical properties compared to conventional methods
- Deliver parts from powder to final shape in under 1 hour

On March 13, 2025, Norimat hosted its Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) event in Toulouse, marking a significant milestone in advanced materials manufacturing. The event brought together industry leaders, researchers, and partners to explore the latest advancements in SPS technology and its transformative impact on various sectors.

This event will bring together industry leaders, researchers and partners to explore the latest advances in Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) and its impact on advanced materials.

From material validation to 3D part manufacturing, how does NORIMAT break through geometrical and dimensional technological barriers?

The missing piece of the puzzle:
Printing UHTC parts by Binder Jetting, relying on digital technology to predict deformation, densifying these pure parts to 100% using FAST/SPS technology, offers more competitiveness and a decisive competitive advantage.

Norimat: Peut-on innover dans le secteur du luxe grâce à l’utilisation de la technologie Spark Plasma Sintering ?

Par Bastien Nodenot, notre responsable projets matériaux pour notre division luxe et expert en Spark Plasma Sintering technologie.

Dr. Jennifer Mackie, Head of Modeling and Digital Product Development at Norimat, expert in thermo-mechanical modeling.

Sinter Based Additive Manufacturing (SBAM) processes are receiving much attention as an alternative to LPBF processes for the rapid production of metal and ceramic components with reduced cost and environmental impact. On the other hand, the sintering step is sometimes difficult to perform for green parts from SBAM process resulting in high residual porosity. This paper proposes a versatile alternative with FAST/SPS hybridisation.
