At a Glance
What Makes Good AM Powder
Spherical shape, low oxygen and a narrow size distribution keep layer deposition smooth and dense, with the supply route in our AM Metal Powder Supplier page.
Size Bands by Process
Fine bands suit powder-bed lasers, coarser bands suit binder jet and DED, with the process detail in our SLM/DMLS Guide and our Binder Jetting Guide.
| Size band | Process | Note |
|---|---|---|
| 15 to 45 um | SLM / DMLS | Fine detail |
| 20 to 63 um | Binder jet | Flow speed |
| 53 to 150 um | DED | Large parts |
