Powder Reuse Cycles in Electron Beam Powder Bed Fusion—Variation of Powder Characteristics [PDF]
A path to lowering the economic barrier associated with the high cost of metal additively manufactured components is to reduce the waste via powder reuse (powder cycled back into the process) and recycling (powder chemically, physically, or thermally processed to recover the original properties) strategies.

On the Reuse of SLS Polyamide 12 Powder
In the Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) technique, the great majority of the powder involved is not included in the final printed parts, being just used as a support material. However, the quality of this powder is negatively affected during the process since it is subjected to high temperatures (close to its melting temperature) during a long time, i.e.

Powder Reuse in Laser-Based Powder Bed Fusion of Ti6Al4V-Changes in Mechanical Properties during a Powder Top-Up Regime. [PDF]
The properties of Extra Low Interstitials (ELI) Ti6Al4V components fabricated via the laser-based powder bed fusion (L-PBF) process are prone to variation, particularly throughout a powder reuse regime. Interstitial pick-up of interstitial elements within the build chamber during processing can occur, most notably, oxygen, nitrogen, and hydrogen, which
