Particle size options: 10-30μm or 15-45μm
Process: Gas Atomization（GA）
Features: Cost-effective, suitable for standard restoration needs

Cobalt Chromium Alloy Powder (Three Models)
FM-CoCrMoW: Crowns, bridges, frameworks, abutments, metal bars
FM-CoCrW: Crowns, bridges, abutments, metal bars
FM-CoCrMo: Specialized for frameworks/removable partial dentures (RPD)
Particle size: 10-30μm or 15-45μm (all models)
Process: Gas Atomization（GA）
Features: High strength, excellent corrosion resistance, ideal for load-bearing structures
CTE 25-600℃: 14.4*10−6K−1

Titanium Alloy Powder (FM-TC4 Ti6Al4V ELI)
Ideal for: Crowns, bridges, frameworks, abutments, metal bars
Particle size: 15-45μm or 15-53μm
Process: Electrode Induction Gas Atomization（EIGA）or Plasma Rotating Electrode Process（PREP）
Features: Superior biocompatibility, perfect for patients with metal sensitivity concerns

Step 2: Verify Core Quality Indicators
Regardless of material choice, ensure these essential criteria are met:
Powder Morphology: Must be spherical powder to ensure optimal print flowability
Certifications: Full certification system including FDA, ISO 13485, ISO 9001/14001/45001
