Alexander Katz-Demyanetz

It depends on AM technique used. I recommend to use ExOne technique based on a combination of powder bed and binder jet methods (PB-BJ). It this case, you can add PVA powder to SiC prior a printing and then use the obtained powder blend as a raw material.

Bathusile Masina

Thank you for your answer. In this case, the AM technique is the laser engineered net shaping (LENS) directed energy deposition.

László A Gömze

There several methods.

Please study them and you will find the answer.
