Sintavia Publishes Overview of Disposal Procedures for Powder Condensate

Sintavia, LLC , a designer and 3D printer of a new generation of flight and launch components, announced today that it had published an overview of proper handling procedures for powder condensate waste generated as part of the powder bed fusion additive manufacturing process. The paper, titled, “Overview of Disposal Procedures for Powder Condensate” was written by Sintavia’s Quality & EHS Engineer, Ashley Wallace, in collaboration with the Additive Manufacturer Green Trade Association (AMGTA) and Triumvirate Environmental .

Powder condensate is the term used to describe solidified particles resulting from the evaporation of metal alloys during the powder bed fusion additive manufacturing (AM) process. This condensate, which is a waste stream unique to AM, is either deposited into a collection chamber within the AM printer (considered to be “dry” condensate) or wet-vacuumed out of the build chamber itself (considered, along with melt spatter contemporaneously removed, to be “wet” condensate). Both wet and dry condensate may be hazardous and must be disposed of pursuant to applicable environmental regulations. As metal AM is only now entering maturity with respect to production, powder condensate as a waste stream has previously neither been a major concern for operators nor studied widely. However, high volume manufacturers increasingly need to allocate proper resources for the safe disposal of this material. In order to do so, powder condensate should be classified as a separate waste stream and documented appropriately with cost-effective methods for its disposal. This paper discusses the procedures used in the United States for analyzing and disposing of condensate from the powder bed fusion process, and provides a real world example of how one high-volume manufacturer handles this disposal

According to its author, “knowing where each condensate stream is going is just as important as the proper preparation of each type of waste. As Sintavia has grown, we have recognized that proper disposal of all of our waste streams must be a priority. We have worked with Triumvirate Environmental and other experts within the industry to manage the final disposal of these streams according to regulatory requirements.” The full paper is available to AMGTA member companies, other industry stakeholders, and the general public on the AMGTA website at: https://www.amgta.org/resources/ .

“We were pleased to work with the Additive Manufacturer Green Trade Association and Triumvirate Environmental on this paper,” said Brian Neff, Sintavia’s Chief Executive Officer. “By sharing what we’ve learned with other industry stakeholders, we hope these published guidelines can help other powder bed fusion AM manufacturers as they develop their own process to determine the safe and proper handling and disposal of powder condensate.”

Klarna Card reaches 5 million active customers19.3.2026 15:31:00 CET | Press release

Klarna, the global digital bank and payments provider, today announced that the Klarna Card has reached 5 million active customers globally, underscoring rapid adoption as consumers shift towards new forms of payment which provide more control over day-to-day money management. The card draws from the customer's own funds for everyday spending, with the option to spread the cost of a specific purchase, like a large appliance or a flight, when it makes sense to do so. The result is a card that offers genuine spending control without the long-term debt obligations that come with traditional credit cards. The card’s growth is reinforced by Klarna’s membership program. The program offers premium perks such as airport lounge access, travel insurance, and lifestyle subscriptions — without requiring users to take on debt, meet spending thresholds, or revolve balances. By separating everyday spending from rewards, Klarna is challenging the strings-attached model legacy banks have long relied on

Armis Launches First-of-Its-Kind Benchmark Report Warning of Critical Security Gaps in AI-Native Development19.3.2026 13:00:00 CET | Press release

Research reveals 100% of leading generative AI models fail to generate secure code for critical development scenarios Armis, the cyber exposure management & security company, is warning that the rapid enterprise adoption of AI-native development is outpacing critical security safeguards, leaving organizations exposed to systemic vulnerabilities. New research from Armis Labs’ Trusted Vibing Benchmark Report, which evaluates 18 leading generative AI models across 31 test scenarios, reveals a 100% failure rate in generating secure code. These vulnerabilities are most prevalent in high-risk areas like memory buffer overflows, design file uploads and authentication systems. Therefore, organizations should immediately implement AI-native application security controls to reduce risk. “The era of vibe coding is here, but speed should not come at the cost of security,” said Nadir Izrael, CTO and Co-Founder of Armis. “Our research finds that the worst offenders are the same ones selling security
