Some Great Points/Info on Additive Manufacturing

[BCONTVentures]

Some great points/information on Additive Manufacturing/3D Printing, thanks to @Midtownguy and @cargo for this: 

@MidtownGuy @JetsFanYEG couple things: if the capacity of the tower gets maxed out the Company would build another one, or several. In terms of revenue, it's not just [insert global aerospace company's name here]; arguably, the opportunities are bigger with their parts makers and after-sales repair companies, of which there are many.

@MidtownGuy all round, the team on the ground in Montreal is verrrry excited, and very confident.

@MidtownGuy It's a big step; only a couple of companies in the world are at that level this early in the AM game. Game on.

@MidtownGuy Good article here about the very recent White House-backed additive manufacturing acceleration program: https://www.reuters.com/technology/boeing-northrop-join-white-house-backed-advanced-manufacturing-program-2022-08-17/

@MidtownGuy @MtlCdn Canada gets a pass from all buy-US programs as part of the free trade agreement. Also, PYR makes the raw material, not the parts. Raw materials are sourced from where they can be.

@MidtownGuy The fact that the White House-backed program "says not enough American companies are using 3D printing or other high-performance advanced manufacturing technologies", and that 7 giant manufacturers of high-quality components have now signed on to the Additive Manufacturing Forward (AM Forward) program with a promise to increase AM usage, demand can only increase. Some fortuitous timing indeed.

@MidtownGuy Good thing we have two ex-DOD personnel on the PYR board @BayRunner

@cargo Hmmmm...... MTG pointed out that the opportunities are bigger with their part makers and after sales repair companies. Found this info. on how directed energy deposition (DED) printing can also be used to repair Industrial Components. "DED can both print new 3D metal parts, and also add materials to existing components enabling a broader range of applications such as repair, surface modification, and hybrid manufacturing which combines DED with traditional subtractive processes" https://optomec.com/how-3d-metal-printing-saves-time-and-lowers-costs-ded-for-repair-of-industrial-components/ Also here is a research paper on Repairing Ti-6Al-4V aeronautical components with DED additive manufacturing:) https://www.researchgate.net/publication/346184786_Repairing_Ti-6Al-4V_aeronautical_components_with_DED_additive_manufacturing

Long and Strong in PyroGenesis!
