The Secret to Perfect Powder? It Starts with the Feedstock.

In the rapidly maturing world of Additive Manufacturing (AM), the industry’s focus has shifted. For the last decade, the headlines were dominated by the machines—faster lasers, larger build volumes, and smarter recoaters. But as metal 3D printing moves from “prototype” to “production,” experienced metallurgists are realizing that the hardware has outpaced the materials. The reality…

Popular Metals Used with Additive Manufacturing

Additive manufacturing processes involve using materials to create parts, components, and finished products by layering the materials together. These processes create both simple and complex geometric parts for a range of industries including medical, aerospace, and automotive. In addition, many manufacturers use additive manufacturing for prototyping design concepts. These prototypes are made quickly and modified…
