Spherical Titanium Powder Description
Titanium Powder is a lustrous silver-grey material used in direct metal laser sintering (DMLS), an innovative additive manufacturing process. This method leverages the principles of 3D printing to create functional parts from metallic materials, suitable for various industries.
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 other electronic data source. A 3D printer is a type of industrial robot.

Spherical Titanium (Ti) Powder Properties
Titanium spherical powder not only exhibits certain mechanical properties and excellent biocompatibility but also excellent corrosion resistance. Pure titanium parts have broad-range application potential in chemical processing, marine technology, and the biomedical field.
- Good Flowability & High Sphericity: Ensures homogeneous dispersion of powder and high-quality formed/printing performance.
- Regular Particle Size Distribution & High Density: Results in high-density formed parts with limited pores and excellent polishing effects.
- Low Oxygen Content: Facilitates enhancing dimensional accuracy and surface quality of formed parts.
