Spherical Niobium Powder
AEM's spherical Niobium metal powder is also a material for 3D printing. It produces the metal objects directly with high-density and accurate shape by DMLS (direct metal laser sintering), a typical 3D printing technique. The combination of low oxygen content, spherical shape, and excellent flowability makes our powders perfectly printable and contributes to achieving 3D printed parts' outstanding characteristics.
