‘Quantitative shape analysis of metal powder samples by morphology’ is the latest in a series of informative laboratory services datasheets, which LPW Technology Ltd plans to release on a monthly basis. Designed to describe the processes and benefits of each of the chemical and physical analysis techniques LPW offers for Additive Manufacturing, the series debuted with a datasheet on Karl Fischer Titration testing in April 2017.
