Service Overview

Education that turns process dependency into process confidence.

DSH provides education and training programs for teams at every competency level. Programs are built to develop individual professionals while helping companies standardize debinding, sintering, feedstock evaluation, and process-control practices.

For new adopters.

Give engineers, operators, and decision makers a practical understanding of the MIM and metal AM process chain before scaling investment.

For production teams.

Close knowledge gaps in debinding, sintering, recipe development, and troubleshooting so teams can operate with stronger confidence.

For problem solving.

Build custom training around specific materials, production defects, furnace behavior, testing requirements, and qualification goals.

Instructor Credibility

Led by Bryan Sherman, Chief Metallurgist.

Bryan Sherman brings more than 25 years of technical experience in MIM equipment manufacturing, application development, process improvement, debinding, and sintering. His training approach is built around real production problems, not theoretical coursework.

  • Metallurgical expert in MIM and sinter-based metal AM

  • Deep experience in high-temperature metal processing

  • Background with captive MIM parts manufacturing operations

  • Co-author of patents in Powderflo Technology

  • Material Science and Ceramic Engineering background

Curriculum Focus

Training built around the realities of metal part production.

Each program can be configured around the customer’s equipment, feedstock, production goals, and current level of metallurgical maturity.

Debinding Fundamentals

Binder systems, catalytic pathways, solvent debinding, thermal removal, defect prevention, and process controls.

Sintering Strategy

Atmosphere control, shrinkage, densification, furnace behavior, cycle planning, and repeatability.

Defect Troubleshooting

Root cause analysis for cracking, distortion, blistering, carbon issues, density variation, and dimensional drift.

Feedstock Evaluation

Material selection, powder characteristics, binder behavior, handling considerations, and qualification inputs.

Testing & Quality

Metallography, density, hardness, TGA, dilatometry, mechanical testing strategy, and interpretation of results.

Process Standardization

Documentation, internal best practices, operator alignment, training consistency, and knowledge transfer.

Faster Ramp

Accelerated Onbaording

Accelerate understanding for engineers, operators, and managers working across MIM and metal AM.

Less Tribal

Standardize Knowledge

Reduce reliance on undocumented experience by creating shared process language and best practices.

Better RCA

Improve Troubleshooting

Teach teams how to connect defects back to feedstock, debinding, sintering, atmosphere, and handling variables.

Higher Confidence

Support Qualification

Help teams understand the inputs, tests, and controls needed to qualify materials and finished parts.

Why It Matters

Training protects margin, uptime, and institutional knowledge.

In metal part production, knowledge gaps show up as scrap, downtime, missed shipments, slow qualification cycles, and overdependence on a small number of experts. DSH training helps teams build repeatable decision-making around the full process.

What does a training outline look like?

Programs can be structured as fundamentals, process management, or in-depth custom problem solving based on your team’s requirements.

How does DSH protect sensitive information?

DSH treats document control, technical data packages, and customer IP with strict confidentiality and professional handling.

Is DSH technologies furnaces agnostic?

Yes. DSH’s experience across MIM, metal AM, users, materials, and technologies allows the team to support problem solving across the sintering landscape.

Common Questions

Built for standard programs and custom requirements.

DSH can support teams that need a broad process overview, targeted operator training, or advanced custom problem-solving.
