Amongst several of the parameters that defines how a metallic powder will perform in additive manufacturing, the powder flowability is essential to ensure a thin and reproducible deposit of the metal powder, layer-after-layer until the object is finalized.

Optimized process parameters are essential for successful additive manufacturing, where the parameters must be optimized for the intended component / product. First, the significant parameters are optimized for smaller test objects, which are then transferred to the specific component. That provide…

It is of great importance that the quality of the metallic powder that is used in additive manufacturing is high, why it is important to be able to analyze and quality assure the raw material prior to the manufacturing.
