Research abstract
Reducing the waste by recovering more powder will greatly drive the cost of parts. In most cases, only a small amount of the powder that flows into the chamber during the build process is actually fused into a component. This leaves a significant amount of powder available either to be reused or to scrap. The process of recycling the material for future projects, manufacturers can better manage powder stock, requiring fewer orders, which will eventually reduce overall cost per part. The feedstock utilization can be maximized and drives the production towards increased sustainability.
