In this episode, we uncover the little-known but highly innovative role of sintering in Olivetti’s manufacturing history. From the 1950s to the 1980s, Olivetti became one of Italy’s early pioneers in this process—compacting and heating metal powders to produce precise, high-performance components.

Discover how this cutting-edge technique supported the production of Olivetti’s business machines, led to patents and international acclaim, and eventually gave rise to Tecsinter, a specialized subsidiary that marked a new industrial chapter.
