Improve safety and control oxidations during reuse and handling

Many manufacturers reuse leftover powder to maximize efficiency and control costs. Powder has a tendency to oxidize during each build cycle, negatively impacting part quality. In addition, oxidation can occur while powder is in storage and during sieving and certain powders can combust or explode when dispersed in air.
