A high frequency induction heating method includes: providing a film containing a component, which melts at a preset heating temperature, on a surface of a workpiece before heating the workpiece by high frequency induction heating using a high-frequency coil; and heating the workpiece by high frequency induction heating.

Methods and systems for forming an object comprising sintered material are disclosed. An exemplary method includes producing a flash process using one or more flash source materials and forming a magnetic field, wherein the magnetic field and the flash process are used to form the object.

The invention relates to a manufacturing system and method for manufacturing a part. A negative powder forms a holder suitable to hold particles of a positive powder in proximity to one another. A connection scheme such as heating, the use of pressure and/or a binder, when employed, connects the particles to one another to form the part.
