Your full-scale AM revolution starts now

Carpenter Additive is the world’s leading supplier of metal powders optimized for AM — and the first AM-focused materials company to engineer a sustainable, production-ready powder delivery solution. Our next-generation Hopper gives you the high-capacity supply of high-quality powder you need in an easy-to-transport, easy-to-store form.

• Think big: Up to 2 metric tons of powder per Hopper
• Eliminate waste: One Hopper replaces 100+ non-recyclable plastic bottles
• Lock down safety and quality: Minimize operator exposure and contamination while optimizing operational efficiency and traceability

Built to perform

The Carpenter Additive Hopper provides a closed-loop powder solution, from the point of atomization to loading your AM machines. Our industry-best metal powder is transported and stored under inert conditions, minimizing the risks of operator exposure and material contamination. Each Hopper is alloy-specific and clearly labeled for easy traceability.

• Push-fit connection points to maintain inert atmosphere
• Valves engineered to prevent powder escape
• Patented valve blocker to keep powder inside during transport
• Rugged identification and serialization plate

Built to sustain

Filling a high-volume machine with small containers of powder is beyond inefficient — it’s wasteful. Easy to use and easy to clean, the Hopper is a reusable, recyclable powder supply solution. One 500 L Hopper replaces more than 100 non-recyclable plastic bottles. And Carpenter Additive plants a tree for every Hopper purchased.

The Hopper can help you achieve both your production-scale AM and sustainability goals.
