October 25, 2016
Q. Is this a new business line for PyroGenesis?
A. One might say yes; however it is important to understand that we have done this before. PyroGenesis originally developed this process in the 1990’s and, during 2001-2004, was selling titanium powders to the biomedical industry who liked their “flowability”. These powders were used in injection molding to make biomedical implants, such as knee replacements.
Despite the success, PyroGenesis got out of this business when it became apparent that the biomedical industry was only interested in a particular particle size and were not interested in purchasing all of PyroGenesis’ production. Now the reason we decided to get back into the business was due to the increased demand we saw, and are now receiving, within the Additive Manufacturing industry for this exact type of powder
...
Note, we will initially focus production on Titanium and its alloys, due to increased current customer demand, and more importantly, it being our expertise however we do have plans to adapt the PAP system to meet the demands of the Additive Manufacturing industry, specifially, as it moves towards other metals and composites so highly sought after in the Aerospace, Medical, Automotive, and Military industries. The depth of our plasma expertise here at PyroGenesis gives us a significant advantage in doing so.
