Jewellery and Fashion Accessories Production by Binder Jetting AM: From Lab Tests to Full-Scale production
Mattia Lago – Mattia Trentin
The presentation represents the third chapter in a series of contributions dedicated to Binder Jetting technology and follows on from the work presented at JTF in 2023 and 2024. It will provide a detailed overview of case studies involving different types of objects, with particular emphasis on improving design and layout for the printing and sintering stages of the BJT process, as well as on optimising the production process in relation to increasing batch sizes The presentation will also address considerations related to costs and time-to-market.
Bio
Mattia Lago – Mattia Trentin
Mattia Lago currently serves as 3D Metal Hub Operations Manager at Legor Group S.p.A. A graduate in Materials Engineering, he has been working in the field of metal 3D printing since 2016. From 2018 to 2020, he managed SLM systems at the National Institute for Nuclear Physics in Padua, developing specialised expertise in metal additive manufacturing processes. He joined Legor Group in 2020, initially focusing on the implementation and commissioning of the company’s Binder Jetting metal 3D printing service. Since 2022, he has coordinated the operational activities of the 3D Metal Hub, overseeing the development and industrialisation of production processes related to metal additive manufacturing for the jewellery, fashion and industrial sectors. He also collaborates with the R&D team on the development of printing and sintering processes for precious metals, contributing to the advancement of Binder Jetting technologies applied to the luxury and high-end manufacturing industries.
Mattia Trentin obtained his Master’s Degree in Materials Engineering from the University of Padua in December 2022, completing a thesis focused on the Binder Jet 3D printing process for the production of nickel-free steel components. During his thesis work, he began collaborating with Legor Group S.p.A., joining the company in June 2022. He currently serves as a 3D Technical Specialist within the Legor 3D Metal Hub. In this role, he manages and develops customer projects and requests in collaboration with the 3D team, while also supporting Research & Development activities aimed at optimising the printing and sintering processes of new materials, both precious and non-precious.
