Report Description
3D printing powder is used in additive manufacturing process where a three-dimensional component is built up from digital data.
Several materials are used to create a 3D printed object. Successive layers of 3D printing powder are used under digital control to
make a three-dimensional object. Various materials that are used as 3D printing powder include stainless steel, tool steel, aluminum
alloys, copper alloys, titanium alloys, diamond catalyst alloys, super alloys of chromium and nickel, and pure metals such as gold,
silver, platinum, and palladium. 3D printing powder has characteristic morphology and packing density that ensure good flow and
uniformity in 3D printing. Size and shape of powder differ broadly depending on the processing technology and end-user requirement.
3D printing materials are mostly available in spherical shape with particle size ranging between 50 μm and 150 μm.
