Abstract
Methods and apparatuses for identifying an additive manufacturing process for unused output material of an atomization process are described. The method comprises determining a set of characteristics of output material that is unused in a first additive manufacturing process. The method further comprises determining a respective set of parameters associated with respective input material of each of a set of other additive manufacturing processes. The method of further comprises identifying one of the set of other additive manufacturing processes that accepts the output material as input material based on the characteristics of the output material and based on respective sets of parameters.
