Using metal powders in 3D printing allows for material optimization, as the process builds parts layer by layer, using only the necessary material. This targeted use of materials not only minimizes waste compared to subtractive manufacturing methods but also can lead to cost savings on expensive aerospace-grade metals like titanium and nickel alloys. Moreover, the ability to recycle unused metal powders further enhances the sustainability of manufacturing processes.
