The Metal Powder Industries Federation (MPIF) has announced
the release of the 2023 PM Industry Roadmap. The update
reviews current and future demands of key markets and
identifies the technical barriers, challenges, opportunities, and
priorities that will drive the powder metallurgy (PM) industry's
continued growth. The current PM industry is driven by
applications in the automotive market. Growth opportunities for
PM technology over the next 10 years include energy,
aerospace, medical/dental, electrical and magnetic, defense,
and industrial and consumer products.
Key technology developments and example applications are
identified for each of the four main categories of PM processes:
press & sinter; metal injection molding (MIM); metal additive
manufacturing (AM); and isostatic pressing. This update also reviews the achievements
made by the PM industry from 2017-2022 and features interactive links to award-winning PM
components.

The original 2001 PM² Industry Vision and Technology Roadmap, and subsequent updates
in 2012 and 2017, are still valid and relevant. They should continue to serve as a reference
for the PM industry’s long-term vision to be the preferred source of net-shaped metal-based
components. However, this 2023 update is expected to help guide the development of the
PM industry over the next several years.

About the Metal Powder Industries Federation
Metal Powder Industries Federation is the North American trade association formed by the powder metallurgy
industry to advance the interests of the metal powder producing and consuming industries and provides a
single point of reference for all MPIF member companies.

The programs for the premier powder metallurgy (PM) conferences of the Americas are now available! PowderMet2023: International Conference on Powder Metallurgy & Particulate Materials and co-located AMPM2023: Additive Manufacturing with Powder Metallurgy Conference will feature over 200 technical presentations from worldwide industry experts presenting on PM, metal injection molding (MIM), and metal additive manufacturing (AM) at Caesars Palace, Las Vegas, Nevada, June 18–21, 2023.

APMI International's most prestigious award recognizes APMI members for their significant contributions to the goals, purpose, and mission of the organization as well as for a high-level of expertise in the technology, practice, or business of the industry. The 2023 Fellow Award recipient will receive elevation to Fellow status at PowderMet2023, during the Opening General Session on Monday, June 19, in Las Vegas, Nevada. The 2023 recipient is Christopher T. Schade, Vice President of Advanced Materials, Hoeganaes Corporation.

The Metal Powder Industries Federation's (MPIF) Awards Committee has announced the recipients of
the 2023 MPIF Distinguished Service to Powder Metallurgy (PM) Award that recognizes individuals who
have actively served the North American PM industry for at least 25 years and, in the minds of their
peers, deserve special recognition.

Alex T. Gasbarre, CEO, Gasbarre Products, Inc., DuBois, Pennsylvania, has been elected President of the Powder Metallurgy Equipment Association (PMEA). PMEA is one of six trade associations under the Metal Powder Industries Federation, a "not-for-profit association" formed by the powder metallurgy industry to advance the interests of the metal powder producing and consuming industries.
