Sumario:The production of metal alloys and compounds in powder form has traditionally been linked to techniques such as gas atomization or mechanical alloying. For the manufacture of bulk pieces and components, powder metallurgy routes based on the pressing and sintering of powders have been used. In recent decades, additive manufacturing techniques have appeared as an alternative to produce parts with complex geometry and reduce the loss of material. The integration of powder engineering and additive manufacturing has driven the development of advanced materials and more efficient processes. Designing powders with controlled characteristics allows for improved repeatability, reduced defects, and expanded additive manufacturing applications (in demanding industries such as aerospace, automotive, and biomedical). Together, both disciplines allow optimization from the raw material to the final product, enhancing manufacturing innovation. This Special Issue “New Trends in Powder Engineering and Additive Manufacturing” focuses on powder metallurgy, which is a set of fabrication techniques related to three major processing steps. First, the precursor material is physically powdered (micro- or nanometric particles). Second, the powder is consolidated to obtain bulk specimens (traditionally by injection into a mold or passed through a dye). Third, pressure and/or temperature is applied. Powder metallurgy is now also applied in the production of composites. Furthermore, new topics have emerged, such as additive manufacturing, MA, the circular economy or raw materials
