PyroGenesis Secures Second Titanium Powder Deal with U.S. Defense-Linked Research Facility
Event summary
- PyroGenesis won a second contract within a month with a U.S. applied research facility supported by the DoD and NASA for coarse-cut titanium powder.
- The contract involves Ti64 titanium powder (45-106µm) for electron beam melting, a key technology in aerospace and biomedical manufacturing.
- The client indicated a need for follow-up orders, suggesting recurring business potential.
- PyroGenesis' NexGen™ plasma atomization process produced the powder, reinforcing its position in the defense and aerospace sectors.
The big picture
This deal underscores PyroGenesis' strategic pivot toward defense and aerospace, sectors where titanium's critical mineral status and applications in lightweight, robust components are driving demand. The contract aligns with PyroGenesis' goal to scale its additive manufacturing division, targeting growth several times larger than its current operations. The global titanium powder market for 3D printing is projected to reach $1.4B by 2032, positioning PyroGenesis to capitalize on this expansion.
