METAL POWDER
Ti6Al4V
Additive Manufacturing is in our Genes.
When it comes to AM with metals, Heraeus is your reliable partner all along the way. With decades of experience in metal handling and recycling, combined with our thorough expertise in additive manufacturing, we are able to provide you with true peace of mind. Our command of processes, powders and printing enables the highest degree of design freedom for your components.
With high-quality powders, batch consistency and trace-ability, and variable particle size distribution, we can meet even very exacting AM demands.
That’s because we have EXPERTISE TO THE CORE™. Powder Printing
