This is why CMCs are so important in airplane engines as they could address this issue:

NTSB: Burning engine, ‘fire on board,’ preceded fatal plane crash near Fairbanks

The report states that an eyewitness saw the plane shortly after takeoff with the far left engine not running. The eyewitness also reported seeing a white plume of smoke coming from that engine.

Surveillance cam video from a property near the crash site shows the plane flying low, then a burst of fire from the left wing before the plane swiftly turns downward and falls toward the ground, going out of sight from the camera view behind a patch of trees.
As the earths magnetic field continues to weaken this will get worse! Ceramics are a possible solution.

This proposed AD was prompted by a report that certain exterior fairing panels on the top of the engine nacelle and strut (the thumbnail fairing and mid strut fairing panels) may not have the quality of electrical bonding necessary to ensure adequate shielding of the underlying wiring from the electromagnetic effects of lightning strikes or high intensity radiated fields (HIRF), which could potentially lead to a dual engine power loss event from a critical lightning or HIRF exposure event

CERAMIC MATRIX COMPOSITES & COATINGS
CMCs are in high demand from major OEMs for aerospace, heat exchangers, turbine engines, hypersonic-supersonic vehicles, and related applications.

CMC Coatings
Recently developed oxidation resistant coatings for CMCs that extend their useful application to extreme temperatures.

Carbon / Silicon Carbide Ceramic Matrix Composite

This shows the importance of Sintx technical partnership with Prodways for 3D printing components for Aerospace applications among others.

Heres a good CMC for EM radiation absorption. Something i posted 4 years ago in hopes it might help mitigate EM radiation that causes things like airplane engine failures leading to so many plane crashes.

Might want to look $SINT she is up again today on pre market

Now Zimmer paid $232m in total for Implex's Hydrocel material which it calls Trabecular Metal. However its paid out so much more in legal costs and lawsuit settlements. At one time i had estimated the costs to being over north of a billion.
Also trabecular metal was originally used in Spine and Hip/Knee, but it grew to include dental, foot, & shoulder implants. All places Sintx Si3N4 can be used while having superior antibacterial and osteointragrative properties which should prevent such loosening issues. As far as ive seen every product that has had Trabecular Metal in it has suffered a recall and loosening.

3D printing of Si3n4 is important to help reduce Si3N4's 1 major drawback, modulus of elasticity which prevents the material from being used in certain applications like femoral stems. Still Sintx has its coating tech and can also imbue plastic implants with Si3N4 thus expanding Si3N4 market potential. This is why it can be used for so many different medical applications. There are other reasons to want to use ceramics over metals as metals amplify EM radiation (Natural and manmade) and thus increase dis-ease. More on that at the bottom of post.

Notice those bashing Sintx & Si3n4 have to resort to methods of disinformation in their posts like employing strawman argument or Reductio Ad Absurdum.

They should use at least 50% of the proceeds from recent offerings to give Sonny a farewell bonus for having such a low salary. He only collected ~$4mm during his time as ceo for his stellar performance.

The employees should work for free honestly. This product is basically flex seal on steroids and solves every problem known to mankind. The audacity of expecting to be paid and hindering the growth of this product is criminal due to taking away valuable capital so they can have more patents.

Buybacks or giving more money to Sonny are the only two clear choices.

Total acquisition costs of Implex was $108m upfront + $124.1 (96m+28.1) in cash earn-out payments from 2004-2006 for a grand total of $232.1m. Sintx tried to IPO for a valuation of around $225m in 2007 when it only had spinal product candidates and hip/knee candidates in early stages of R&D.

Each share of Implex stock will be converted into the right to receive cash having an aggregate value of approximately $108 million at closing and additional cash earn-out payments that are contingent on the growth of Implex product sales through 2006.
We have paid $96.0 million of earn-out payments through December 31, 2005. We estimate remaining payments, which will occur in 2006, to be in a range from $30 million to $40 million.
In 2006, we made a final payment of $28.1 million pursuant to the terms of the Implex acquisition agreement for contingent earn-out payments.

Thats how much Zimmer paid for Implex, a materials company which was limited to orthopedic reconstruction and spinal markets. Meanwhile Sintx Si3N4 is not only a superior material, its potential market uses far exceed that of Implex as show in the study below!

The pending acquisition of Implex gives the Company enhanced flexibility in the development of products using Trabecular Metal Technology, which the Company believes has significant potential in orthopaedic reconstructive and spinal product applications.

Let's see..meet payroll, or buyback stock?

which will it be?

Do you think they did all of the recent share offerings to start buying back stock? What’s your outlook here, big money??

Don’t sit on bid all day hit the ask and start making money today

$SINT - Sintx Technologies, Inc. Setting up for big run

Folks $SINT exploding she is heading .10+

Anybody got the SS

If he cared about investors at all, or dare I say, even the company, he would take himself out of the role of ceo.
The least he should do is step down as the ceo, and look for someone who knows the ins and outs of running a public company.
To the potential investor, I say WAIT! Wait until a takeover, an ouster of present ceo, OR large investors begin to take notice. WAIT until present management begins to heavily invest. Until then, it's just a game as it has always been
Whelp Joe, he just did that and Sintx is looking for a new CEO. So games being played with the stock are over? BTW, who exactly is it thats has been playing this game with the stock?
I still find it it an interesting coincidence that Sonny is stepping down as CEO just as Zimvie closed its sales of Spine IP and Solventum completed its spin-off from 3M.

========================================

come on Sonny - make up for years of shareholder abuse - go out in a blaze of glory - sell this sucker for $100MM!!!!!!
I doubt Atlanta that Sonny will sell this while looking for a new CEO. Also $100mm is way less than its IP is worth. Needs to be over $225m and should be over the amount that has been spent developing IP and paid-in capital ($280m). Implex and Spinal Dynamics already set the precedent for this sort of valuation with little revenue; Implex revenue was about $5m before Zimmer partnership/subsequent acquisition and Spinal Dynamics didnt even have a FDA cleared product when it was acquired for 275m. Although Sintx IP scope is significantly larger than both those companies combined as anyone can see in the following study.

$SINT huge a buying pressure happening again

Anyone that sold out $SINT now buying back in at higher price she is running now

Sonny is responsible for the massive expansion in IP during his tenure. He laid the foundation. That hardly qualifies as a cancer. New CEO can monetize it. Then if Sonny stays on as Chairman he can sell the company which he implied was the plan. The main problem has been the market hasnt properly valued Sintx IP...at all (currrent value = worthless as the current market cap is below tangible assets). So when that IP begins to be monetized there will be a massive increase in valuation for SINT because suddenly all that value will have to be recognized. What should have occurred is the value should have been reflected with time/risk factored in and slowly grown from there. That has never happened and thus the market & funds are the cancer as ive been saying.

These are risk-averse companies that look to smaller companies like us to develop an idea, uh, and, uh, de-risk it, so to speak, and then buy that technology.

As madg stated, the "cancer still remains." I agree. There's nothing to celebrate yet, other than an announcement, and we all know how that can go. Right now, it would appear retailers are walking with trepidation, as are the banks and funds, as well as insiders. Time will tell....
As much as you guys complained about Sonny as the CEO, why isnt there more celebrating and why isnt the stock going up?

$SINT can go up 100% blink of eye take an advantage and load up folks

Added some more $SINT today

What does that have to do with anything? If you want to post about Sonny being on a board of trustees then this makes more sense:

Point 3: Zimmer Biomet CEO David Dvorak, in 2016 and Sintx CEO Dr Bal join OREF at the same time. Thus some hobnobbing would ensue for however long the two were on the board of trustees for.

In addition, the trustees welcome to the board: Jeffrey S. Abrams, MD (Princeton, NJ); Christopher R. Adams, MD (Naples, FL); B. Sonny Bal, MD, JD, MBA (Columbia, MO); Paul C. Collins, MD (Boise, ID); David C. Dvorak, JD (Warsaw, IN); James R. Ficke, MD (Baltimore, MD); and Joshua J. Jacobs, MD (Chicago, IL).
I know outdated, but this is Dr Bal's old resume with different boards he was on:

As much as you guys complained about Sonny as the CEO, why isnt there more celebrating and why isnt the stock going up? Also isnt it odd they didnt release a press release of Sonnys intention to retire as CEO? Guess that will come with the new CEO press release.

According to IBR, short positions are closing out today. Yesterday some closed out climbing from 10k to 50k. Then it jumped to 250k early this morning. Now it seems IBR has more shares available to short at 2.7m. The other day it only 450k.

BOARD ADDITION: DR. SONNY BAL
November 1, 2023
in Foundation updates
At the Thompson Foundation board meeting last week, Dr. Sonny Bal was elected to the board of directors. Dr. Bal is CEO & President of SINTX Technologies, an original equipment manufacturing (OEM) ceramics company headquartered in Salt Lake City that develops and commercializes silicon nitride ceramics for medical and non-medical applications. Dr. Bal was an MU professor of Orthopaedic Surgery from 1999-2017 and served as an adjunct professor of Material Sciences at Missouri S&T. He has researched and published extensively in ceramic science and serves on the editorial boards of peer-refereed journals. He is also a licensed attorney who co-founded the Bal Brenner law firm in North Carolina.

In addition to his JD from Mizzou, he holds a BS in Genetics from UC Davis, an MD from Cornell University, an MBA from Northwestern University, and a PhD in Materials Engineering from the Kyoto Institute of Technology. He received fellowship training in joint replacement surgery at Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard University, and he did residencies at UC San Francisco and UMKC. He met his spouse, Dana Bal, M.D., when she was in medical school at UMKC. The Bal family calls Columbia home.

Welcome, Dr. Bal!

Three months salary and three months Cobra is quite fair imo (assuming he's not holding the position for another year). Kudos to Bal for not breaking the bank in this area. Will be very interesting who the replacement will be and how long it all will take.

Auburn University Applied Research Institute to oversee $50m Army advanced manufacturing project

Auburn University, located in Auburn, Alabama, in the US, has received what is the single largest prime research contract ever awarded to the institution, a 50 million USD contract that is designed to help the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command Aviation & Missile Center boost its increasing modernisation efforts.
The project made possible by the funding is titled “Lightweight, Advanced Manufacturing of Metallic, Polymer and Composite Structures for Aviation and Missile Weapon Systems,” and will be facilitated through the Auburn University Applied Research Institute (AUARI) in Huntsville.

The project will also rely on research expertise from Auburn’s National Center for Additive Manufacturing Excellence (NCAME), and the Interdisciplinary Center for Advanced Manufacturing Systems (ICAMS).

9.3 million USD of the award has already been designated for NCAME, which will use the funds to continue its research into the materials, parts and process qualification necessary for furthering the implementation of additive manufacturing in Army operations.
US Army is making a big push to move to modernize and move to Additive Manufacturing. So yes Sintx collab with Prodways is a big deal because if successful that will aid in the supplying of slurries to the army.

CMCs are a subgroup of composite materials that consist of ceramic fibers embedded in a ceramic matrix. Because of their high temperature resistance and low density, researchers for decades have investigated using CMCs in aerospace applications. In recent years, some of these dreams reached fruition, for example, when the LEAP aircraft engine by GE Aviation, which contains CMC high-pressure turbine shrouds, entered commercial service in 2016.

The ability of CMCs to resist hostile environments is a recurring theme in many of the applications being explored. For example, in addition to gas turbine engines, researchers are investigating the use of CMCs as heat exchangers in next-generation energy technologies. Yet it is a different property of some CMCs that enables its less well-known application in radomes.

A radome is a structural, weatherproof enclosure that protects a radar antenna from the environment. For a radome to serve its purpose effectively, the material from which it is constructed must minimally attenuate the electromagnetic signal transmitted or received by the antenna—in other words, it must be transparent to radio waves

Dr Bal has overseen massive expansion of Sintx IP portfolio from simple a spinal implant company with a couple other product candidates. That hardly qualifies as a cancer in regards to company operations. The cancer in regards to SINT is those that have been manipulating the price and keeping SINT so undervalued.
Whomever takes over for Dr Bal will get all the credit for the commercialization efforts that will come from all the IP Dr Bal oversaw and helped develop.

The timing of him stepping down as CEO is interesting considering that Zimvie just divested Spine and Solventum just spun off from 3M.

It’s a step in the right direction but the cancer still remains.

The company’s strong position within existing markets, such as the medical sector, will reportedly enable it to generate opportunities in new industrial applications, such as aeronautics.
Prodways stops producing 3D printing machines for jewelry and decided this year to pursue aerospace along with its medical business. Again what was contained in the PR by Sintx was aerospace related and not medical as Si3n4 was not a resin mentioned. As i said before, for their medical 3D printing collab, they are working with 3DCeram. Not that they couldnt use Prodways machines one day. This better explains why the press release about their long term aerospace contract was mentioned in the PR. The company they are supplying should be their aerospace partner from 2017 Morgan Advanced Ceramics or one of its subsidiaries. I believe this also is connected to their 3D printing collab with the US Army.

In February of 2024, the company announced a multiple year supply agreement with a leading aerospace company.

Bal leaving can only be a good thing. He may string it along for awhile though. In the meantime, I'd suggest the following as his possible replacement: Bob Cotton, former CEO of Cotton and Western Mining; Rene Bracconier former CEO of Thermo Tech Technologies and the late Bob Lorsch, former CEO of MMRGlobal.

SO LONG SONNY, YOU WORTHLESS POS

Biomedical printing is moving forward quickly it seems. Is the main difference that Prodways is a desktop? Size limitations?

Weekly perspective:

Perspective -

I believe that the market is being heavily manipulated by AI now.

SINTX AND PRODWAYS AGREE ON CERAMIC SLURRY SUPPLY AND 3D PRINTING AGREEMENT

SINTX and its subsidiary Technology Assessment and Transfer, Inc. will supply ceramic-filled printable slurries
First off this agreement seems to be with either Sintx subsidiary TA&T or both subsidiary and parent. Considering the ceramic slurries mentioned, id say its with TA&T.

SINTX now sells 3D printed components made from alumina, zirconia, and silica, and also supplies custom printable ceramic-filled resins to customers across multiple industries. In February of 2024, the company announced a multiple year supply agreement with a leading aerospace company.
Those are all slurries provided by TA&T and as you can see this quote references the Aerospace supply agreement from February which i suspect to be with their previous R&D partner Morgan Ceramics.

SINTX will manufacture and supply key ceramic aircraft engine components which have been qualified through a rigorous evaluation process.
Thus this suggests that part of this agreement pertains to Ceramic Matrix Composites for Aero Engine Applications. If this pertains to CMCs then this agreement is likely also connected to this PR from January:

SINTX SUBSIDIARY TECHNOLOGY ASSESSMENT & TRANSFER TO DEVELOP 3D PRINTING AND CMCs WITH DEVCOM-ARMY RESEARCH LABORATORY
entered into a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) with the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command Army Research Laboratory (DEVCOM ARL). This partnership is expected to leverage the strengths of both organizations in the areas of ceramic additive manufacturing (ceramic 3D printing) and ceramic matrix composites (CMCs).

Prodways already supplies it printers to the French Army further supporting that this agreement is conneced to the R&D agreement with US Army.

French Army installs two Prodways P1000 3D printers for manufacturing spare parts
https://3dprintingindustry.com/news/french-army-installs-two-prodways-p1000-3d-printers-for-manufacturing-spare-parts-156430/

Thus TA, there is nothing fluff about this press release. Teslas news release, however, was fluff. This is because it still doesnt have actual clearance to deploy its L2 FSD software there. According to Reuters this is fairly easy to get. The problem will be to get the data out of China. Pump Pump Pump over there.

Silicon Nitride = Next Gen Hip Implant Material

Silicon nitride, silicon carbide and diamond-like carbon as non-oxide ceramics are considered to be the new generation of materials used in hip prosthetics, particularly in the manufacture of acetabular cups, due to their excellent biocompatibility, osteointegration, and tribological and mechanical properties, but all three materials need more study.

Interesting... Perhaps a collaboration is in the works.

Could this simply be an issue of scale?

Prodways up to a certain size and 3DCERAM SINTO for larger prints?


The ceramics under development mostly comprise alumina and zirconia—high-density materials with good mechanical strength and corrosion resistance—and hydroxyapatite, a calcium phosphate found in teeth and bone. Lithoz has improved upon the latter bioceramic in its new bone graft substitute, LithaBone HA 480. Unveiled late last year, LithaBone increases the wall thickness (from

This is their more medical oriented 3D printing collab.

The collaboration is focused on the biomedical and investment casting industries.

“We are excited about the possibilities of creating a silicon nitride-based resin for the biomedical market. With interest in silicon nitride medical devices continuing to grow rapidly, we believe 3D printed silicon nitride devices will play a major role in the future of medical and technical segments in which we participate
I think 3D Ceram is aiding in the development of a Si3N4 slurry for the medical market. Prodways provides the printers needed? Yes that would allow them to 3D print femoral stems that could replace metal components that badly need to be replaced as metal compents cause significant longterm problems due to corrosion and exposure to EM radiation.

that's just dumb

2017 article on 3d printed bone...


Working with two engineering students in Welfare Technology, Professor Morten Østergaard Andersen has developed the artificial bone material which the 3D printer uses to build the bones. The results from the mouse experiments show that the mouse’s own skull accepts the artificial bone and then eats into the artificial bone, which disappears in time. To help the process along, the researchers graft stem cells onto the bone.

Ceramic bone-like materials, generally hydroxyapatite (HAP or HA) for durability or tricalcium phosphate (TCP) for osteointegration can be 3D printed using stereolithographic 3D printing processes such as those proposed by Lithoz, 3DCeram and Prodways or through precision deposition (micro-dispensing) using systems such as the EnvisionTEC 3D bioplotter or nScrypt’s micro-dispensers.

In February of 2024, the company announced a multiple year supply agreement with a leading aerospace company.
This little blurb, thats oddly included, suggests that this will be in part to supply this Aerospace partner whom should be Morgan Ceramics based on past activity together.

What if a hip or knee replacement could be printed in 3-D???

You can take Zimmer Biomet M&A with Sintx out of the picture but you cant take the fact that its a strategic partner with Sintx in regards to Hip/Knee. Because Zimmer Biomet was working with Sintx on a hip implant pertaining to the use of Sintx femoral head and the fact that Sonny was pals with former ZB CEO Dvorak, you can bet Hanson is aware of Si3N4/Si3n4 imbued fabrics and thus Solventum is. A partnership to develop any products with Solventum/3M to utilize Si3N4 imbued fabrics explains why things happened the way they did with O2...at least on the R&D front. It also explains why theres been no new developments in regards to commercializing masks as Solventum only completed its spin-off from Q1 this year.
Morgan Ceramics was a partner with Sintx in 2016 and theres no reason to believe it still isnt in regards to Aerospace products as
Since NP Aerospace was part of Morgan Ceramics at the time of Morgan Ceramics partnership with Sintx, the fact that NP Aerospace uses the very materials that Sintx Armor supplies, that Bray comes from NP Aerospace, and the fact that NP Aerospace needs a US manufacturing location, its not a leap in logic to see that Sintx was setup to supply NP Aerospace in the armor department. Thus it explains what Sintx is waiting on in regards to NP Aerospace.

Partnerships help explain some of the execution as well so no M&A with Zimmer Biomet is not required. To me it just makes the most sense for Zimmer Biomet to acquire Sintx in the end because of how Sonny is setting Sintx up to give any entity that acquires it for licensing revenue and that was Zimmers intentions 13 years ago. Now i havent seen any action that goes against this original plan. As shown with Eli and Amylin, things can change./quote]

I'm sure THAT will not happen....

Thanks for the additional info...

Defense & Aerospace would be even more lucrative ( unfortunately this is the priority today's world)

Prodways is promoting dental implants, so that is covered, that appears to be plastic, but the tech is proven for bio fitting.

I was thinking bone replacement, which would be additive to the dental franchise and open up a lot of new medical business.

Perhaps it is for multiple human biological applications:

The team’s 25 years of experience makes SINTX an attractive development partner for Prodways, a manufacturer of 3D printers and a leader in the additive manufacturing industry. SINTX has been actively 3D printing ceramics with the Prodways L5000 since 2018, SINTX is excited to benefit from the technical advancements from the latest Prodways hardware innovations as part of this partnership.

Prodways, a pioneer in industrial 3D printing, will be able to leverage SINTX’s Silica and Alumina qualified slurries on the latest MovingLight machine generation, specifically developed for the demanding requirement of ceramic application. In particular, the machine will provide a unique combination of high resolution and build envelope, while maintaining process scalability with flexible build envelope configuration and process-oriented parameters control.

Ann Kutsch, General Manager of the SINTX-Maryland site, commented: “Our outstanding engineering team has 6 years of experience working with Prodways printers, and we have already used their equipment to commercialize multiple resin compositions and part designs. I expect that a more formal partnership will lead to some breakthrough developments and novel solutions for all our customers.”

Vincent Icart, CTO and COO of Prodways, added “Prodways has had a very early exposure to ceramics 3D printing. Before this partnership, we were only supplying customers with internal capabilities development. We are thrilled to bolster our specifically developed MovingLight machineries with SINTX slurries, as our joint expertise will allow us to be an end-to-end solution provider for the most demanding ceramic printing applications.”

They also do Defense & Aerospace which today's PR pertains to. The slurries being provided are not their Silicon Nitride...at least not yet. Hopefully it leads to 3D printing dental implants but thatd be a different collab.

Post# 40663 of 40935

Interesting pattern of increased attacks on me around the time of increased naked shorting of the stock; although this is not 100%. We will not know for a month, but yesterdays volume may have been accompanied by an increase in naked shorting as there was on the 21st of February. Attacks on me, i suspect are more than just to distract from what i post but also because they know that will prompt a typical response of posting information to defend Sintx real valuation. Which, they then utilize to help craft their narrative that Sintx is a scam and im paid or just crazy. However i post information regardless if the stock price drops or trades sideways here just like i post warning about Tesla on its forum regardless of which direction the stock goes. The best defense against such attacks is to read the research, which is heavily sourced, and watch the other posters in action. I include the claim that 911 was an inside job, along with the evidence that supports this claim, knowing to some this will make me look crazy, which only aids their crazy claim. However i do this purposefully.

I use evidence to point to Sintx eventual success. At the same time a counter element lead by hfunds drives the price lower via naked shorting, to aid in lowering of the VWAP strike price, and converting their warrants cashless (free shares). The funds benefit by driving the price lower to lower their VWAP and reverse split to lower it even further as seen since the 100:1 RS to end 2022. They make alot of money shorting this and get the tax write off on the original investment "loss".
Almost all posters on SINTX forums, with the exception of myself, are aligned with the goal of price going lower. In part this is so there is no collateral damage of people losing too much money on SINT; they warned me to sell early last year before they drove the price to where it is today with nothing bad actually happening with the company to support such a drop in price. However while collateral damage maybe a motive, it is not the only reason. Another reason is keeping people away from SINT by making it look like its a scam, allows them to manipulate the price unimpeded, while reducing the likelihood of investigations by the SEC and lawsuits. All the while they point the finger at Sonny and management or even me.

Excerpt:


SINTX Technologies Awarded Phase II NIH Grant for Silicon Nitride-PEEK 3D Printed Composite Spinal Implants
SINTX will collaborate with the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine (Penn Vet) over the next 24 months to execute this project. The NIH grant will support resourcing and acquisition of materials as well as testing and trials at SINTX and Penn Vet. Upon the successful execution of the Phase II grant application goals, SINTX will have the majority of the benchtop and large animal in vivo data needed to seek FDA regulatory clearance using the 510(k) pathway. Additionally, successful demonstration of infection prevention in vivo will be a critical step towards enabling an antimicrobial device claim. These preliminary animal data will be used to seek future funding from NIH or other Federal agencies to further validate antimicrobial properties of devices made from SN-PEEK.


announced today it has been awarded a Phase II grant of $1,972,826 by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to develop a 3D printed (3DP) composite silicon nitride – polyetheretherketone (SN-PEEK) spinal implant. This represents the fourth NIH grant awarded to SINTX since the Phase I award for this project was received in September of 2021.

Representing approximately 40% of spine implants within the $10 billion global spine market, PEEK-based devices are favored because of their proven clinical efficacy. Through the development of 3DP SN-PEEK spinal implants, SINTX aims to combine the familiarity and benefits of PEEK with the antibacterial and osteoconductive characteristics of silicon nitride. These composite implants will be manufactured with modern, cost-effective 3D printing technologies.
