Video: GE's Specialized Powder Metal Materials for Additive Manufacturing

At engineering.com - Video: GE's Specialized Powder Metal Materials for Additive Manufacturing - June 05, 2018

The introduction:

In discussions on metal additive manufacturing, materials are often treated like an afterthought. More attention is given to the process, machine and even the parts than to the specialized materials that must be used.

To learn more about the specifics of metal powders for powder bed additive processes, we spoke to Ethan Peress, sales representative at Advanced Powders and Coatings Inc., a GE Additive Company.
