Additive manufacturing (AM) of permanent magnets has been an important research field in recent years due to its potential for near net shape processing of complex geometries with tailored stray field distribution and therefore better use of mostly resource-critical materials. One of the most applied materials in production of fully dense metallic magnets by LPBF is the rare-earth lean Nd-Fe-B based, atomized commercial material MQP-S by Magnequench. The powder qualifies due to spherical shape and size for the use in LPBF. The exchange-coupling mechanism induced by the two-phase nanostructure results in significant coercive fields and enhanced remanences, both however can be strongly reduced during the LPBF process.

The influence of the AM process on the magnetic properties is studied in detail by advanced magnetic and transmission electron microscopic characterization methods supported by temperature dependent x-ray diffraction and differential thermal analysis. Based on this, we review reported results on printed materials allowing a critical view on the powder material choice in AM.
