With regards to powder (and this is not the first presentation that metal powder sentence has appeared) it is a critical part of the process and what happens at the powder stage is crucial in understanding how the material properties will be affected during the build. In collecting data for predicting how a build will form and checking it versus prediction Sigma will be heavily involved with powder suppliers i am sure to isolate the performance of a particular powder throughout the process.

Those who think metal AM is just a case of pouring powder and melting it are way off the mark. The science is (like all this AM process) incredibly complex. Once the data has been worked on in terms of how a powder will perform this can be stored in PrintRite3D and this is of benefit to both Sigma and the powder suppliers who can verify their powder does what it is supposed to do.
