What is additive manufacturing powder?
Powder bed fusion (PBF) is an additive manufacturing, or 3d printing, technology that uses a heat source—typically a laser—to sinter or fuse atomized powder particles together. Like other additive processes this is done one layer at a time until the part is completed.
Powder bed fusion technologies are:
- direct metal laser sintering
- selective laser melting
- electron beam melting
- selective laser sintering
- multi jet fusion
