Directly tailor particle morphology to your requirements. DirectPowder can produce equiaxed semi-spherical powders for powder bed processes or high aspect ratio particles for strengthening thermoplastic composites.

MPW’s DirectPowder process operates from premium certified barstock, leveraging decades of process and quality control for critical applications. Direct Powder conversion takes place at room temperature, eliminating the possibility of inert gas entrapment or evaporation of high vapor pressure elements.

DirectPowder takes place at room temperature, enabling produced powder to retain heat treatment or temper established in the bar feedstock. T6 temper can be maintained in high performance Aluminum alloys to improve downstream product performance.

DirectPowder is an exceptionally low energy process, enabling environmental sustainability as well as portability. The unique characteristics of the DirectPowder process create the possibility of field deployed powder production for localized manufacturing in support of expeditionary forces (or planetary colonists!)

Efficiency - Directly Produce only the particle sizes and shapes needed for your process.

Flexibility - Directly convert nearly any alloy that is available in bar stock. From grams to tons, metals or polymers.

Quality - Robust and well-established supply chains produce certified bar stock. DirectPowder converts these premium materials for your process without introducing defects or altering chemistry, ensuring consistent and reliable downstream performance.

Requirements-Driven - The DirectPowder process is dynamic and software-driven. With DirectPowder, your requirements drive the process, not the other way around.
