Titomic signs MoU with Lasting Titanium the Leading Titanium HDH Metal Powder Producer in China
-
MoU to secure exclusive supply of new price point Titanium Powders for Titomic Kinetic Fusion™ (TKF).
-
New commercial opportunities opened for titanium products across multiple industry sectors.
-
Creates viability for TKF systems to compete with traditional manufacturing.
Melbourne, Australia 19[th] December, 2018 : Australian metal additive manufacturing (3D printing) Company Titomic Limited (ASX: TTT) (“Titomic” or “Company”) today announced it has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (“MoU”) with Shaanxi Lasting Titanium Industry Co. Ltd (”Lasting Titanium”), the largest manufacturer and exporter of titanium powder in China.
The MoU commences with immediate effect and will enable Titomic to work with Lasting Titanium to secure the supply of low-cost Commercially Pure Titanium powders produced using Lasting Titanium’s technologies. The partnership will also enable the cooperative development of new titanium powders for Titomic Kinetic Fusion™.
Lasting Titanium’s irregular powder provides Titomic’s customers with a price point alternative to go with Titomic’s other range of mid-end and aerospace grade titanium powders. Lasting Titanium’s irregular powder morphology is suitable for industrial scale additive manufacturing via TKF systems. Other additive manufacturing processes cannot utilise this price point irregular powder.
Titomic Kinetic Fusion is a unique metal 3D printing AM technology with its versatility to utilise both spherical and irregular morphology metal powders for the manufacture of industrial scale metal products. This diversity presents Titomic with more opportunities in industries such as building, marine automotive and oil & gas where application of titanium was previously economically unviable. Titomic customers are well-positioned to add value to existing traditional manufacturing or to develop nextgeneration products with Titomic’s metal powder range.
