Nano Zirconium Powder, or zirconium particles reduced to the nanoscale (typically ranging from 1 to 100 nanometers in size), is a lustrous, gray-white metal widely utilized in various industrial applications due to its high melting point, corrosion resistance, and low neutron absorption. This material is commonly used in the preparation of pressed and bonded sputtering targets, as well as in Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) and Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) processes, including Thermal and Electron Beam (E-Beam) Evaporation, Low-Temperature Organic Evaporation, Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD), Metallic-Organic and Chemical Vapor Deposition (MOCVD). Due to its excellent resistance to corrosion, Nano Zirconium Powder is often employed as an alloying agent in materials exposed to corrosive agents, such as surgical appliances, explosive primers, vacuum tube getters, and filaments. Its unique properties make it suitable for a wide range of industrial and everyday applications, including the nuclear industry, catalysts in chemical processes, and sintering.

3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing (AM), refers to various processes used to synthesize a three-dimensional object. In 3D printing, successive layers of material are created under computer control. These objects can be of almost any shape or geometry and are produced from a 3D model or another electronic data source. A 3D printer is a type of industrial robot.
