The Ditzingen (Germany)-based machinery manufacturer Trumpf recently qualified the titanium powder from US manufacturer 6K Additive for use in its Truprint 3D printing systems. As part of the collaboration, the titanium powder was specifically tested for its processability and material properties within the open Truprint system architecture. The powder provided by 6K Additive consists of recycled titanium and is processed using the Unimelt technology. This involves a microwave plasma system that ensures precise spheroidization (quasi-spherical rounding) of metal particles while controlling porosity and chemical composition. The production operates without so-called cross-contamination and is relatively energy-efficient. An independent life cycle analysis confirms savings of up to 75 percent in CO₂ emissions compared to conventional titanium powder production methods.
