Our ISO 9001 certified quality system helps to ensure our products adhere to the highest international standards of quality and consistency.

Metal Powders for 3D Printing

Metal powders can be produced using several methods, some of which are solid-state reduction, milling, electrolysis, chemical processes, and atomisation. Yet, because it produces the most geometrically convenient powders for 3D printing, atomisation has been historically regarded as the best method for producing metal powders for AM.

Metal powders are metals that are reduced to fine particles and are the preliminary base materials for most 3D printing processes that produce metallic parts. 3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing (AM), is the manufacturing of parts and products in a layer-by-layer fashion. Both the characteristics of the metal powder and the type of the 3D printing process determine the properties of the end product. Powder characterisation takes place depending on the way it is produced, which may result in different particle morphology and purity.

We offer metals powders with a selection of particle sizes and ranges

<45μm, <53μm, 15-45μm, 15-53μm, 45-150μm.
- metal powders with low oxygen content
- iron based metal powders
- titanium based metal powders
- cobalt based metal powders
- aluminum based metal powders
- copper based metal powders
- customized metal alloy powders

A variety of particle size can be customized upon request.

One of the main assumptions for metal powders in 3D printing is that they are nominally spherical and have a certain size distribution that allows them to be well packed, which results in a dense product with good and desired mechanical properties. In other words, the particle size – which determines the smallest possible layer height to achieve – and particle shape, in addition to the powder’s level of purity, play a crucial role in controlling the powder quality.

Nanopowders

Compositionally, nanoparticles are separated into two broad classes: metals and metal alloys, and ceramic nanoparticles. Available ceramic nanoparticles include oxides (including complex and doped compositions), nitrides, carbides, and other ceramics, such as carbon and diamond nanopowders. Our nanoparticles are offered as nanopowders, dispersions, and solutions of surface-functionalized particles.
