PyroGenesis Secures Titanium Powder Deal with U.S. Defense-Linked Research Facility
Event summary
- PyroGenesis won a contract to supply coarse titanium powder to a U.S. applied research facility backed by DoD and NASA.
- The deal follows PyroGenesis' DFARS compliance certification, resolving prior delays.
- The initial order is for Ti64 coarse cut titanium powder (45-106µm) for electron beam melting applications.
- The client has indicated potential for follow-up orders.
- This marks PyroGenesis' first commercial order with this major research facility.
The big picture
This contract aligns with PyroGenesis' strategic goal to expand its additive manufacturing division, particularly in defense and aerospace applications. The global titanium powder market for 3D printing is projected to grow significantly, reaching $1.4 billion by 2032. PyroGenesis' plasma atomization technology positions it as a key player in this growing market, particularly as titanium is classified as a critical mineral by both Canada and the U.S.
