Metal powder cost is the biggest expense in the AM process; the type of powder and its properties are therefore central to optimizing the process, ensuring build quality and reducing waste.  Not all powders are created equal; powders can differ by manufacturing method, morphology, particle size distribution and chemistry.

• Properties of metal powders that influence AM
• Techniques for powder evaluation
• How virgin powder compares to recycled powder
• The use of Factorial Experimental Design to link powder properties and process variables to final product quality.
