  • How can I make sure the AM alloy I selected will work on my specific Laser Powder Bed Fusion (L-PBF) equipment?

    We have suggested a couple of powder size distributions for popular L-PBF equipment, based on our experience and access to the equipment available within Sandvik Additive Manufacturing and the BEAMIT Group. For the largest available batch of all our available products we also provide a copy of the certificate of analysis, which includes chemical composition and powder size distribution, as well as physical test data such as apparent- and tap density and flow tests. We recommend you compare the certificate of analysis to your company’s purchase specification.

  • Is there a minimum order weight?

    Yes. Each product is pack in labelled CurTec containers which represent the minimum order which is 5 kg for Ti6Al4V powder, and 10 kg for all other products.

  • Is there a maximum order weight?

    Yes. Each product has a maximum order weight, typically set at 1000kg.

  • Can you arrange for air freight delivery, to reduce the freight time?

    The AM powder products currently available via Osprey® Online are not available for air freight deliveries, as we aim to provide a sustainable solution with efficient ground-based logistics.
