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.
