Hello Wheresjackbenny,
Thanks for posting again.
I am more than happy to further provide clarification and speak to the recent announcements and developments disclosed by the Company with regards to its Additive Manufacturing (AM) NexGen™ powder production line. From what I perceived from your message, I am afraid you have misunderstood the connection between 1- the completion of the cutting edge NexGen™ production line, 2- the agreement with the tier one Global Aerospace Company for qualification of AM powders and 3- the successful installation of the state-of-the-art plasma torch production equipment in the new facility.
We recently announced that we have started commercial powder production with our new cutting edge NexGen™ powder production, from which we shipped our first commercial samples of plasma atomized titanium powder. In addition, and in parallel, we are also in the process of having our plasma atomized powders qualified by a tier one global aerospace company to become an approved supplier.
It is important to understand that the recent developments made for the Additive Manufacturing industry are unrelated to the installation of the of the plasma torch production equipment. As previously disclosed, having the plasma torch production in house will significantly reduce the manufacturing time of our plasma torches, thereby reducing delivery times while increasing profitability. This will further strengthen PyroGenesis’ offering in addressing the demand in various industries such as the iron ore pelletization industry, in which PyroGenesis’ plasma torches will be replacing fossil fuel burners. This latter has nothing to do with the AM industry and PyroGenesis’ NexGen™ production line.
Hope this helps.
