The use of additive manufacturing (AM) technology in production is increasing rapidly. However, as more specialized metal powders are created for unique applications, material costs can increase. Recycling and reusing expensive powders is an attractive goal, but several challenges have to met to make powder reuse successful.

EWI AM Product Manager Rutuja Samant discusses these
challenges and their potential solutions in Powder

an
article in the Winter 2019 issue of 3D METAL PRINTING. She outlines the
importance of understanding powder degradation, plausible ways to recondition
powders, and the work being done to develop industry standards for
recyclability.
