Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a plurality of powder particles configured to be joined in an additive manufacturing process to form a part. Each one of the powder particles has a determined three dimensional, non-spherical shape. The plurality of powder particles are further of dimensions enabling fitting individual ones of the powder particles in abutting relationship with one another. At least a subplurality of the powder particles each have a functionalized surface feature to enhance at least one of clustering or separation of the subplurality of powder particles.
