The Ernest Wiemann Top Job Contest is a peer-judged competition created to honor outstanding work. NOMMA members from around the world compete for awards in 17 categories, including forged and non-forged work ranging from gates and stairs to furniture and accessories. Our 2024 contestants submitted incredible projects, ranging from staircases to sculptures, and we look forward to showcasing more of their amazing work in our upcoming O&MM Fabricator issues.
Congratulations to all of our 2024 winners!
Starting in 2022, NOMMA began compiling entries from all the open categories into a printed and digital publication, the Top Job Gallery Magazine, which gives members an opportunity to review projects in greater detail and provides a keepsake of all the projects submitted. Each issue is housed online year-round.

National Institute of Standards and Technology
A breakthrough by institutions including NIST and KTH Royal Institute of Technology has utilized particle accelerator facilities to examine steel's internal structure during 3D printing. By studying metal solidification with powerful X-rays, the team has determined how cooling rates affect crystal structure, validating a computational model. This model, traditionally used in manufacturing, can now guide metal 3D printing, reducing uncertainty and accelerating its industrial adoption.
