Jet Metals will test MPW copper-based powders for “add-mix” applications. Add-mix powders are elemental powders that are blended into an iron or steel based powder to meet the final part composition, with copper being the most widely used addition. The availability of copper powders is constrained by supply chain restraints and delays across the industry, which MPW can resolve.

Recently listed on the ASX as MPW, their direct powder process turns premium bar stock into consistent metal powders at room temperature, surpassing traditional atomisation.

Additive Manufacturing Solutions CEO Rob Higham is joined by John Barnes, the founder of Metal Powder Works and President of The Barnes Global Advisors. 

Together, they deep dive into the world of metal additive manufacturing powders, covering the development of powders specific to AM processes, the varying needs of DED, powder bed fusion, and binder jet, and the need for progress to be made in the recyclability of metal powders. 

Metal powder is crucial as the primary raw material used to create 3D objects layer by layer in additive manufacturing (AM). Many traditional manufacturing methods for raw feedstock powders involve high energy consumption. Metal Powder Works (Clinton, PA) and the University of Pittsburgh have teamed up to explore using copper powder in binder jet 3D printing (BJP), an additive manufacturing method that requires significantly less energy than other methods.

Making the metal powders used by many 3D printing processes usually involves melting the material first — but this requires large amounts of energy; generates excess, out-of-size powders; and may not be cost-effective for materials needed in smaller quantities. Powder production that does not require melting can be more economical and more sustainable alternative especially for new or unusual alloys.
