The 90-Day Binder Prototype Challenge

Binder jetting has suffered from too many over-promises and not enough proof.
The 90-Day Binder Prototype Challenge is designed to change that.

We are inviting two partners to work with Atomik AM on a tailored binder prototype for their chosen powder and machine. In under 90 days, you will receive a validated sintered part, full performance data, and a roadmap for scale-up.

This is not about hype. It is about real results, clear data, and honest lessons learned.

How It Works

1. Apply — Complete the short form by 20 October 2025.

2. Selection — Two partners will be announced on 24 October 2025.

3. Prototype — Collaborate with us on a binder formulation tailored to your material and process.

4. Results — Receive a validated sintered part plus data on density, shrinkage, and green strength — all in under 90 days.

Commitment

A set low fee applies to ensure serious commitment from participants. This is a one-time pilot cost, not a commercial rate.
