The company is expecting a long-term contract with this client.
MONTREAL — PyroGenesis Canada has signed its second contract with an aerospace client in Spain to sell titanium metal powder with a 20-63µm particle size range for use in additive manufacturing.
This “fine cut” powder cut range is ideally suited for laser powder bed fusion (LPB-F) additive manufacturing methods, including direct metal laser sintering (DMLS) or selective laser melting (SLM), which are used in creating complex metal components.
The order has already been produced using PyroGenesis’ NexGen plasma atomization system and will soon be in transit to the client.
“(This) announcement validates our long-term strategy for this business segment,” said P Peter Pascali, president and CEO of PyroGenesis. “The company expects that subsequent to this order PyroGenesis would qualify for a long-term contract with this client.”
Massimo Dattilo, VP of PyroGenesis Additive, said “As the commercialization of our titanium metal powder business line continues to expand, we are encouraged by follow-up orders from our initial group of existing clients. We look forward to future contracts within the important European aerospace community.”
PyroGenesis’ titanium metal powder development is part of its three-tiered solution ecosystem.
