Elizabeth Patterman (right), Marines with 1st Supply Battalion, are stacking the “green” parts to prepare the items debinding and sintering at an additive manufacturing industry partner in Petaluma, California, May 26, 2021. Debinding removes a binding agent before the part goes through sintering. Sintering is the last step in the metal 3-D printing process. The parts are placed under heat to consolidate the metal powder to nearly full density. The end result is the final polymer-free metal steering wheel removal tool. (Courtesy photo)
