Potentials and challenges of metal powder production

Additive manufacturing is considered one of the most important technological innovations of our time. It offers enormous potential for a sustainable circular economy by enabling resource-saving production processes and individualized, needs-based solutions. However, in order to fully exploit this potential, new approaches to materials and production processes are needed. One key to this lies in the development of high-quality and sustainable metal powders as a starting material for 3D printing.
