Field assisted sintering technology become a good alternative for most demanding applications. During the presentation most recent examples of materials made with FAST/SPS and PPC technology will be presented and solutions which allows to compete with other technologies when it comes for cost-effectiveness which in most cases is the biggest disadvantage for FAST/SPS technology.

Presentation includes descriptions of solutions like graphite mold multi-hole design, near-net shaping, functionally graded materials. The current market expectations related with FAST technology will be shown on real examples.

The aim of the presentation is to increase FAST/SPS technology possibility awareness by directly showing how to use FAST technology benefits, thus participants should be able to see new opportunities of FAST/SPS technology directly linked to their applications.
