Spherical Nickel Powder Description
SAM’s spherical nickel powder is also an ideal material for 3D printing. It can produce the metal objects directly with high density and accurate shape by DMLS (direct metal laser sintering), which is a typical 3D printing technique.
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.
