    Abstract: A metal powder reconditioning apparatus and method recondition contaminated residual powder from an additive manufacturing device. The apparatus and method include a reducing chamber that receives contaminated residual powder resulting from an additive manufacturing process and remove oxygen from the contaminated residual powder to produce reconditioned powder. The reconditioned powder may be reused in the additive manufacturing process, or may be stored in a non-oxidizing atmosphere for later reuse.

    Abstract: A component includes a support structure made with an additive manufacturing process with a first end and a second end, and an object made with an additive manufacturing process with a first end and a second end, where the first end of the object is attached to the second end of the support structure. A cross-sectional area of the first end of the object is larger than a cross-sectional area of the second end of the support structure. A method of making an object, the method includes manufacturing a support structure with an additive manufacturing process. An object is manufactured on top of and connected to the support structure with an additive manufacturing process, wherein there is a witness mark created between the support structure and the object. The witness mark is identified. The object is separated from the support structure along the witness mark.
