Good Day Peter,
Hoping the start of the new year is going well with you, family & friends & that it continues. I came across this firm, 6K , and thought to show the following info from their website and was wondering about your thoughts on this competitor. I am a firm believer in competition & the creativity & innovations that arise to ' stay on top ' to supply the ' best in class '. The web info is as follows:
Critical to the success of qualification is the material and the properties derived from powder. At 6K Additive, we’re setting a new standard for premium powders. We utilize UniMelt®, the most robust production platform that delivers the highest premium powder for additive manufacturing. Powders that are highly spherical, void of porosity with the fewest satellites of any powder manufacturing technology.
What’s more, our technology allows us to leverage sustainable sources as feedstock. Whether it’s certified millings from CNC, grindings, used additive powder or even the support material used in AM, we leverage it all. We tailor PSD to your requirements. There is no excess waste or other cut sizes that head off to the landfill or sit in some warehouse being written off the books. Lastly, we use ⅕ the gas in the UniMelt® and ⅓ the power of competitive powder producing technologies like gas or plasma atomizers
