Incodema3D looks to 6K Additive for metal powder supply and recycling as their production volumes increase
Incodema3D partnered with 6K Additive to address rising metal powder demand and sustainability challenges as it scaled from prototyping to production manufacturing, particularly in aerospace and defense. Facing high material usage and limited recycling options, Incodema3D adopted 6K Additive’s domestically produced, sustainable metal powders and recycling program. After rigorous testing, including nickel alloy 625, the powders exceeded quality benchmarks for density, strength, and performance. The partnership enabled Incodema3D to recycle used powder efficiently, reduce material costs by 15%, and improve environmental impact. Additionally, having a reliable U.S.-based supplier enhanced supply chain security and supported future production growth while maintaining high-quality output for customers.
