The 3D printing revolution that has upended modern manufacturing |
3D printing produces very little waste compared to traditional manufacturing methods that use material reduction. Also, the direct forming features of this manufacturing method reduces the amount of equipment needed in the production. Metal powder is used as the raw material in metal 3D-printing. Its properties have a strong relationship with the quality of final products. The main requirements for metal powder 3D-printing are chemical composition and particle shape. They also include particle s
