We’ll consider SPS, PM, MIM, Magnets, and even gut-check pricing to ensure the project is feasible.
Cut through the noise
We’ll quickly assess your needs and recommend the most effective path forward.
Quality Focused
Define quality requirements on the front end of part development.
What We Do
Powder Metal Technologies helps product designers and OEMs integrate powder metallurgy into their components, delivering cost-effective solutions with enhanced performance benefits.
PMT isn’t a manufacturer, is the bridge between PM manufacturers and high-growing industries.
OUR FOUNDER
Derek Rasmussen
With over 30 years of experience across diverse areas of the powder metallurgy industry, from operations to technical sales and applications, our founder, Derek Rasmussen, brings in-depth knowledge and experience directly to you. Mr. Rasmussen’s expertise lies in powder metallurgy processes used to fabricate metal components from metal powders. Formally educated in powder metallurgy, he started his career as a hands-on technologist (press and sinter tool design, process engineering).
His expertise cuts across the competing technologies of Press and Sinter (PM), Metal Injection Molding (MIM), Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) and Magnets. He is familiar with the material options and strengths, weaknesses of each process; Evaluating components for “best fit” in three areas 1. Price 2. Design for Manufacture (DFM) and 3. Material.
Mr. Rasmussen has hand chosen four highly qualified suppliers to represent. These suppliers possess the engineering depth and quality consciousness required for quality critical applications.

The Power of Powder Metallurgy: Unmatched Solutions for Custom Components
At PMT, we specialize in four powder metallurgy processes used to fabricate components, engineered materials and bonding / joining. Each technology uses metal in powder form as the base material. The four technologies (listed below) work in tandem, complimenting each other. The idea is to sift through the options quickly, identify engineering, commercial solutions, problem solving & saving money potential (if any, moving fast, let’s not waste time).
- (PM) Powder Metal Press & Sinter: The most cost-effective solution
- (MIM) Metal Powder Injection Molding: Small <30 grams, complex shapes, high density parts
- (SPS) Spark Plasma Sintering: HEA’s, FGMs, Technical Ceramics, Joining of Dissimilar Materials
- Magnets: Sintered permanent magnets, encapsulated, assemblies, magnetic drives
Why We Work with These 4 Technologies: These technologies complement each other, allowing us to offer a broader range of solutions and address economies of scale. Think of us as your guide in a powder metallurgy supermarket, helping you find the best “ingredients” for your “recipes”.
