Powder
As a technology leader and sustainable leading company in relevant market
sectors of powder metallurgy, we offer our customers expertise in development,
advice and production at the highest customer-specific level, for more than
25 years.
Our outstanding product quality, process stability and global logistics competence
ensure market-leading delivery performance in all global target markets.
Therefore it was a logical step to use this know-how for the production of powder
for additive manufacturing and thus expand the product portfolio for our
customers. We use our comprehensive research and testing facilities for the
development of customer-specific powder variants in order to redefine the
performance limits for the most demanding components.

ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING POWDER 5
We offer high quality powder in tool steel,
high-speed steel, corrosion resistant steel
and nickel alloy. We adapt the best material
properties to achieve best parts performance
for our customers.
Within our group structure we do not offer only
powder, but also the corresponding printing
competence. We achieve this through close
cooperation with our global development
and testing centers.
Manufacturing technology and continuous
process control ensure spherical powder with
optimal properties for 3D printing.
