Regarding powdered titanium is is my wild guess ( not based on any real evidence) that since 95% or so of powdered titanium is used in things like paint and white tiles, that powdered titanium makers have been in no rush to improve the consistency or quality of their product. How good does it have to be for paint? It is a commodity business , thus one where cost is almost everything and R&D and money for capital expenditures are scarce.

Thus Arcam realized that they will have to do it themselves. Which is better than leaving EBM at the mercy of poor quality raw material. But it brings up another problem- users of the EBM machine might then have to depend on Arcam for both machines and raw material. Something most probably won't be happy with.
