Particle characterization for additive manufacturing: Analysis of the key parameters particle size and shape using only one instrument

Additive manufacturing (AM) also known as 3D printing, is taking off to produce a wide range of components more efficiently, sustainably, and cost-effectively. In order to achieve success, it is essential to accurately characterize raw materials, such as metal powders and polymer powders. To meet this need, Bettersizer S3 Plus offers characterization solutions. In this app note, we explained the importance of particle size and shape characterization for raw materials and analyze the key parameters using only one instrument.
