5 September 2026GRCop-42 and the Copper Powder Feedstock Problem in Laser Powder Bed Fusion
Copper reflects most near-infrared laser light and conducts absorbed heat away faster than almost any other engineering metal. GRCop-42's move into commercial powder catalogs shows how feedstock morphology, oxide content, and particle size distribution are being engineered around that problem rather than worked around it.

8 August 2026SAE AIR7359: Why Some Metal Powder Feedstock Properties Are Left Out of AM Specifications
AIR7359 explains why AMS-AM metal powder feedstock specifications leave certain properties uncontrolled, citing limited applicability and immature standardized inspection methods, and what that gap means for aerospace AM qualification programs.

1 August 2026Virgin-to-Reused Powder Blend Ratios in Aerospace PBF-LB Qualification: Where the Decision Actually Sits
As aerospace metal additive manufacturing capacity expands, more reused powder is going back into qualified builds. The virgin-to-reused blend ratio decision depends on PSD shift, satellite formation, and morphology drift, and cannot be settled by a single powder check disconnected from the part's stress state.
