To the last grain of AM powder Marketing and Content

by Environment

In order to fulfill the promise of additive manufacturing of eliminating material waste, the AM industry needs to stop wasting materials. In metal powder bed 3D printing this issue has become more relevant as the technology targets larger production batches. And a viable solution to end material waste now exists: it starts with powder rejuvenation. 6K Additive’s UniMelt microwave plasma technology is promising recycled metal powders for PBF with quality even superior to traditionally atomized materials from ingots. Reducing metal powder waste emerged as a key demand during 3dpbm’s AM Focus on Sustainability so we reached out to 6K’s Chairman and CEO, Aaron Bent, Ph.D. to learn how the Boston-based company is addressing this issue.
