Zusammenfassung:A method of additively manufacturing a part is provided. The method includes flowing masticated particles (310) through a deposition nozzle (533) of a directed energy deposition additive manufacturing apparatus (100). Each particle of the masticated particles (310) includes a surface (321) formed by at least angular facets (325). The method also includes melting the masticated particles (310) exiting the deposition nozzle (533) with a directed energy source (136) of the directed energy deposition additive manufacturing apparatus (100) so as to form the part (160). 198 -- 11 2 194 -194 x 196 CONTROLLER 196 196 199 132 134 r - 150 POSITIONING MOVEMENT z
