Certain examples relate to a material management station for use in an additive manufacturing process. In these examples a metering system is applied to measure the amount of build material transported into the material management station from refillable containers. Data describing the metered amount of build material is communicated over a data communication network and remotely compared to an allowance of usage stored in an administration system. Control messages are communicated to the material management station preventing or allowing further use of the build material in line with the allowance usage. 某些示例涉及用于增材制造过程中的材料管理站。在这些示例中，计量系统被应用来测量从可再填充容器输送到材料管理站中的构建材料的量。描述计量的构建材料量的数据通过数据通信网络被传送，并且与存储在监管系统中的使用的容许量远程比较。控制消息被传送到材料管理站，从而阻止或允许根据容许量使用的构建材料的进一步使用。
