Study on Cost-Effective Powders for LBM
Our exclusive study "Cost-Effective Powders for Laser Beam Melting" reveals significant advantages of using coarse Ti6Al4V powder (45–106 µm) in additive manufacturing.
This research was conducted for the Additive Alliance®, our AM network, in 2021. It provides valuable insights for industry professionals looking to reduce costs and improve processes without compromising quality.
Key-Topics of this Study:
- Cost Savings: Up to 44% cost reduction for large powder orders
- Process Insights: Trade-offs in powder sphericity, density, and flowability
- Mechanical Advantages: Improved ductility with comparable mechanical properties
- Health Benefits: Reduced health risks during powder handling
