C103 Spherical Powder Description

Niobium Hafnium Alloy Spherical Powder (C103) also called Niobium C103 or Nb-Hf-Ti is a specialized alloy powder consisting of niobium (Nb), hafnium (Hf), and a small amount of titanium (Ti). Nb and Hf provide high strength, ductility, high-temperature stability, and remarkable corrosion resistance.

About 3D Printing – From Wikipedia
3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing (AM), refers to various processes used to synthesize a three-dimensional object. In 3D printing, successive layers of material are created under computer control. These objects can be of almost any shape or geometry and are produced from a 3D model or another electronic data source. A 3D printer is a type of industrial robot.
