See you in Boston at RAPID + TCT 2026!

Posted on by Ben Malouf

Montana Mixers will be exhibiting at RAPID + TCT 2026 in Boston, April 12–14, in the AeroDef section at booth #2416.

As additive manufacturing continues to move toward production, more attention is being placed on consistency and repeatability across the full workflow. Material preparation is an area that is starting to receive increased focus, particularly as manufacturers work to reduce variability and scale processes beyond the lab.

Montana Mixers develops resonant mixing technology for processing powders, pastes, and liquids, with applications ranging from early-stage material development through production-scale manufacturing. Our VROM™ technology improves homogeneity, reduces contamination risk, and maintains consistent processing conditions as batch sizes increase.

We look forward to connecting with AM materials developers and powder producers working on advanced alloys, coating processes, high solids loading, and more.

Live mixing demonstrations will be running throughout the show. We look forward to discussing your mixing and processing challenges!

Montana Mixers Featured in 3DNatives: Solving AM Challenges Before the Printer

Posted on by Ben Malouf

Montana Mixers was recently featured in 3DNatives in an interview with Dr. Peter Lucon, Chief Innovation Officer and co-founder, discussing the growing importance of material preparation in additive manufacturing workflows.

As additive manufacturing shifts from prototyping to production, consistency has become one of the industry’s central challenges. The article highlights how variability in powder preparation can affect repeatability, mechanical properties, and development timelines. In many cases, the bottleneck is not the printer itself, but the material entering the process.

The discussion explores how Montana Mixers’ Vertical Resonant Oscillatory Mixing (VROM™) technology addresses these challenges by enabling rapid, high-energy mixing without internal blades or impellers. This approach reduces contamination risks, improves homogeneity, and allows processes developed at laboratory scale to transition to production volumes without changing the underlying mixing physics.

The interview also examines how material preparation workflows must evolve as additive manufacturing moves toward serial production, where repeatability, documentation, and throughput become critical.

For companies working with advanced alloys, recycled powder conditioning, or particle coating applications, the article offers insight into why upstream processing is increasingly central to reliable AM production.

See you at PharmSci 360!

The Montana Mixers team is heading to San Antonio, Texas, next week for the AAPS PharmSci 360 show and we couldn’t be more excited!

You’ll find us at Booth #2833, where we’ll be running live mixing demonstrations throughout the event. This is a great opportunity to see our VROM resonant mixers in action and learn how our technology can transform your formulation and processing workflows.

We’ll have both the VROM 750ST lab mixer and the VROM 1500ST lab-to-pilot scale mixer on site, giving visitors a hands-on look at the flexibility and performance these systems deliver across scales.

If you’re attending PharmSci 360, stop by Booth 2833 to meet the Montana Mixers team, see a demo, and chat about how VROM technology can elevate your process.

See you in San Antonio!
