A method and system of additively manufacturing parts using a getter device is disclosed. Specifically, provided herein are methods and systems of using a getter device in a sintering atmosphere furnace for consistently and repeatedly sintering additively manufactured machined quality parts, such as, for example, titanium parts. 1. A method of additive manufacturing , comprising:substantially surrounding one or more parts comprising a sinterable material with a getter material;enclosing the one or more substantially surrounded parts in a sintering furnace; andexposing the one or more substantially surrounded parts to a sintering atmosphere.2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the sintering atmosphere is at a pressure in a range of between about 90 kPa and about 202 kPa.3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the sintering atmosphere includes a positive pressure.4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the sintering atmosphere comprises at least an atmospheric concentration of at least one of carbon claim 1 , nitrogen claim 1 , oxygen claim 1 , and sulfur.5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the sinterable material comprises Titanium (Ti).6. The method of claim 5 , wherein at least some of the Ti in the sinterable material is a bound powder.7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the getter material is selected from the group consisting of aluminum (Al) claim 1 , barium (B a) claim 1 , cerium (Ce) claim 1 , hafnium (Hf) claim 1 , lanthanum (La) claim 1 , magnesium (Mg) claim 1 , molybdenum (Mo) claim 1 , ruthenium (Ru) claim 1 , tantalum (Ta) claim 1 , and Ti.8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the getter material comprises Ti.9. The method of claim 7 , wherein the getter material comprises Mg.10. The method of claim 1 , further comprising a step of heating the one or more substantially surrounded parts to a temperature between 1000 and 1400° C.11. The method of claim 10 , further comprising a step of removing the sintered parts from the sintering furnace.12. The method of claim 11 , ...
