Video of about 2 minutes and 40 seconds without narration. Information is conveyed through images and short on-screen captions.

0:00 – 0:08 On a black background, a trail of glowing particles forms the Pometon logo.

0:08 – 0:28 Three-dimensional green wireframe animations on a dark background show some application fields of metal powders, each with a caption: an industrial robot (“Automotive applications”), mechanical components (“Automotive applications”), a car (“Automotive applications”), an aircraft (“Aerospace and biomedicals”), a molecular structure (“Constructions and diamonds tool”), construction machinery (“Constructions and diamonds tool”), a 3D-printed metal lattice structure (“New: Additive manifacturing”) and gears (“New: Additive manifacturing”). A cloud of powder follows, from which the Pometon logo emerges.

0:30 – 0:48 Aerial and indoor footage of the Pometon plant: production facilities and buildings with solar panels (“Since 1940 Pometon is leader in powder metallurgy”). A new grey building bearing the Pometon Plus logo (“Pometon expands its expertise”). A technician wearing a yellow helmet walks into the plant (“Pometon expands its expertise into a new product line for Additive manifacturing”).

0:50 – 1:00 The technician climbs the stairs of the plant (“Pometon Plus can produce customised AM powders of the following families”). A graphic on a green background presents the alloy families produced by Pometon Plus: AlSi, FeCr, CoCr, NiCr, Ti and Cu.

1:02 – 1:28 The Pometon Plus atomization plant: multi-level steel structures, piping and machinery (“AM manifacturing technology”, “Vacuum Induction melting and inert Gas Atomization”). A technician monitors the process from a touch-screen control panel (“Our powders are print-tested and quality controlled in our labs”).

1:30 – 2:00 The testing laboratory: technicians in lab coats prepare and inspect powder samples (“Thanks to the experience gained in over 80 years”, “in the Powders Metallurgy”), examine them under the microscope and analyse data on the computer (“combined with continuous research”, “and development activities”). Powder characterisation instruments can be seen, such as microscopes, a diffractometer and particle size analysers (“Our new AM Facility and R&D Center in Maerne”, “allows for continued support and innovation for our clients”).

2:02 – 2:18 A graphic on a white background summarises, with photos and captions, the laboratory equipment of Pometon Plus, divided into four sections:

• Chemical analysis: O, N and S, C analyzers; Avio 200 ICP optical emission spectrometer; inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES).
• Powder morphology and particle size: optical microscope correlated to the scanning electron microscope; laser diffraction particle size analyzer.
• Physical and mechanical properties: sintering vacuum furnace; coordinate measuring machine; mechanical testing machine (100 Hz fatigue test); X-ray crystallographic analysis (XRD); automatic macro/micro hardness tester; helium pycnometer.
• Physical properties: powder rheometer; dilatometer; thermogravimetry, differential scanning calorimetry and thermal analysis (TG-DSC-DTA).

2:18 – 2:24 The BSI certification marks held by Pometon appear on a grey background: ISO 45001 (Occupational Health and Safety Management), ISO 14001:2015 (Environmental Management) and ISO 9001:2015 (Quality Management).

2:24 – 2:34 A view of the Earth at night accompanies the list of Pometon locations and markets: Venice, Serbia, Great Britain, Germany, Spain, Turkey, India and Korea.

2:34 – 2:41 At the end, next to a green metal lattice structure, the words appear: Our powders create your idea.
