Continuum Powders was recently featured on Velo3D's 3Din30, discussing the transformative benefits of metal additive manufacturing (AM). The conversation focused on how AM significantly reduces material waste compared to traditional manufacturing processes, highlighting its role in advancing sustainable practices.

At Continuum Powders, we are committed to delivering high-quality, reclaimed metal powders that enhance manufacturing efficiency and contribute to a more sustainable future.

In this episode, we covered:

• Efficiency in Material Usage: Metal AM achieves an impressive buy-to-fly ratio of less than 2:1, compared to the 10:1 ratio of conventional milling, resulting in 50-80% less material waste.
• Resource Conservation Strategies: Innovative approaches to repurposing scrap materials, including unused raw materials, support structures, and obsolete parts, into valuable new powder.
• Sustainable Practices: Insights into how Continuum Powders leads the way in eco-friendly metal powders, with a strong emphasis on recycling and reusing materials for AM.

Our CEO, Rob Higby, and CCO, Greg Bartley, provided valuable insights into our ground breaking approach to sustainability in metal AM.
