A team from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Stanford University and the University of Pennsylvania introduced a novel wet chemical etching process that modifies the surface of conventional metal powders used in 3D printing. By creating nanoscale grooves and textures, the researchers reportedly increased the absorptivity of these powders by up to 70%, allowing for more effective energy transfer during the laser melting 3D printing process.
