After the inventor of binder-jet printing, Professor Ely Sachs became the first inductee into the TCT Hall of Fame in 2018, our next inductee is much more famed for his applications over inventions.

Greg Morris established Morris Technologies in 1994, it became one of the leading providers of specialist AM services in the US before being bought, along with sister company Rapid Quality Manufacturing, by GE Aviation in 2012. Greg’s work in developing metal AM processes and applications has driven the adoption of these technologies and his involvement in the speaking circuit, SME’s RTAM Steering Committee and positions at educational and research organisations has distributed this knowledge industry-wide.

In this interview Greg talks to us about his career and how that GE collaboration came about.

On the 26th September, at the TCT Awards, three more people will join the illustrious crowd that is Chuck Hull, Scott Crump, Hans Langer, Adrian Bowyer and Fried Vancraen. Proceeding the gala dinner will be three in-depth conversations with the inductees who were nominated by their peers and then voted in by the general public. […]

Proceeding the gala dinner will be three in-depth conversations with the inductees who were nominated by their peers and then voted in by the general public. In no particular order, our first inductee for 2018 is Professor Emanuel Sachs.

Known to many as Ely he is not only a professor at MIT, co-founder at Desktop Metal, and the inventor of the binder-jetting process, but he is the man that coined the very term for which an entire industry is shaped.

In this special podcast, Ely joins TCT Group, Head of Content, Daniel O'Connor to discuss how his invention has moved on from its academic origins to a fully-fledged metal production system.

On September 26th, three more industry pioneers will be inducted into the TCT Hall of Fame at the second TCT Awards ceremony. Dr Carl Deckard; Prof Phil Dickens; Todd Grimm; Greg Morris; Prof Emanuel ‘Ely’ Sachs; and Graham Tromans were the nominated six by the TCT Expert Advisory Board. The public have now voted, the […]

On September 26th, three more industry pioneers will be inducted into the TCT Hall of Fame at the second TCT Awards ceremony.

Dr Carl Deckard; Prof Phil Dickens; Todd Grimm; Greg Morris; Prof Emanuel 'Ely' Sachs; and Graham Tromans were the nominated six by the TCT Expert Advisory Board. The public have now voted, the results are in... and in the coming weeks the lucky three will be announced one by one.

But before that happens, the TCT Magazine editorial team gathered round a microphone, sat ourselves on a collection of creaky office chairs, and discussed some interesting facts from the six nominees’ careers. We debate a couple of impressive foresights from back in the day, the rewards of taking risks on new technologies, and even a curious application of a Commodore 64 games console.

This week we’ve got a talk from Samira Gruber, Researcher at the Fraunhofer Institute for Material and Beam Technology. In one of the most popular talks from our TCT Show 2016 Conference video series, Samira gives an overview of the different metal additive manufacturing technologies at the Fraunhofer’s Center of Additive Manufacturing in Dresden, Germany […]
