PyroGenesis Canada Inc. announced the signing of an initial contract with an aerospace entity in Spain for the sale of PyroGenesis? titanium metal powder for use in additive manufacturing. The client is engaged in the development of advanced aeronautics technologies for the European aerospace industry.

The name of the client will remain anonymous for confidentiality reasons. This new order is for titanium metal powder with a particle size range of 15-63µm. This powder cut range is ideally suited for laser bed additive manufacturing methods, including Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) or Selective Laser Melting (SLM), which are widely recognized for their precision and strength in creating complex metal compounds. The order has already been produced using PyroGenesis?

NexGen? plasma atomization system and will soon be in transit to the client. The contract was possible as a result of recent changes to the Company?s European metal powder distribution strategy, whereby the Company and Aubert & Duval mutually agreed to end their distribution agreement.
