❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Which powder should I choose for my application?
Match your application requirements to the material. Titanium alloys (Ti-6Al-4V) excel in aerospace structures and medical implants with 900+ MPa strength at 40% less weight than steel. Aluminum alloys (AlSi10Mg) are the most cost-effective for automotive and prototyping at $35–120/kg. Stainless steel (316L) offers the best corrosion resistance for chemical and food processing. Nickel superalloys (Inconel 718) are essential for applications above 650°C like turbine components. Use our comparison table above to evaluate specific products side by side.
What particle size do I need for my 3D printer?
LPBF (laser powder bed fusion) systems typically require 15–45 µm or 15–53 µm powder. EBM (electron beam melting) uses coarser 45–105 µm powder. Binder jetting works with 15–45 µm. Always check your specific machine manufacturer's recommendation — using the wrong particle size can cause poor powder spreading, inconsistent melt pools, and failed builds. Finer powder (<20 µm) gives better surface finish but is more expensive and harder to spread uniformly.
How much can I save by sourcing directly from Chinese manufacturers?
EXW (Ex-Works) prices from verified Chinese manufacturers are typically 40–60% below Western distributor pricing for equivalent grades. For example, Ti-6Al-4V Grade 5 at $180–350/kg EXW vs $400–800/kg from US/EU distributors. The savings come from direct factory pricing without distributor markups. Most suppliers offer 1–2 kg sample shipments so you can qualify the powder before committing to volume orders. AS9100D and ISO 13485 certified suppliers are available at these price points.
