I’ve been reading a little further, and I’m less sure about whether the powder
needs to be pre-alloyed before it goes into the printing process. If that’s
the case, you’d need all of the regular steps to get to an alloy billet, then
you’d have to turn it back into a powder before you could use it for printing.

Dumb question: what do you describe as "pre-consolidated"
