amsight, headquartered in Hamburg, Germany, has published a new whitepaper, ‘Mastering Powder Management in Additive Manufacturing’, examining powder control and its role in quality management for production metal Additive Manufacturing.

The whitepaper considers how metal powder can change through reuse, exposure, handling, sieving, blending and storage. These changes can affect characteristics including chemistry, particle size distribution, morphology and flowability, with potential consequences for part quality, process stability, scrap rates and audit readiness.
