Abstract
A method for treating additive manufacturing powder particles is provided. The method includes exposing the additive manufacturing powder particles to plasma radiation, where the plasma radiation forms functional groups, on surfaces of the additive manufacturing powder particles, having molecular bonds that vibrate in response to irradiation by laser energy of an additive manufacturing process, and moving the additive manufacturing powder particles to expose the additive manufacturing powder particles to the plasma radiation.
