And from ceo:

@helloween Notice of allowance for the NextGen patent :

And keep in mind that PyroGenesis' NexGen Titanium "Coarse" powder has recently cleared the final requirement to becoming approved on the Aerospace OEM's supplier list.

From the recent NR:

https://stockhouse.com/news/press-releases/2024/06/05/pyrogenesis-clears-final-requirement-to-becoming-approved-titanium-powder

“Having our ‘coarse’ Ti64 powder accepted for addition to the approved supplier list of one of the largest aerospace companies in the world underscores the quality and reliability of our NexGen™ plasma atomization process, our post-processing process, our quality assurance management process, and our quality control system,” said Massimo Dattilo, Vice-President of PyroGenesis Additive. “This achievement is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our team over the past several years. We look forward to officially being added to the approved supplier list and leveraging this success.”

And:

“I am also happy to add that the Company’s ‘fine cut’ Ti64 metal powder is also in the qualification process with the same client, having taken a different qualification path due to changes to the powder specifications by the client during the approval process. We are confident that the ‘fine cut’ powder will also be approved by the client and added to the list of approved suppliers in due course,” noted Mr. Pascali.

And keep in mind that PyroGenesis' NexGen Plasma Atomization System encompasses a 2-wire feed (previous systems had a 1-wire feed) and NexGen electrically charges the wire prior to it entering the reactor.  This means that PYR has increased/optimized flow rates in the production of powders. PYR has some very impressive technology.

And a great comment from @orgos regarding PyroGenesis' methodology for having their 3D powders qualified/accredited:

@ordos Pyrogenesis purposefully pursued the most stringent quality requirements, which takes longer but then they will have no questions from any other future clients who will have the same level or requirements or looser. It was mentioned in the past that Pyrogenesis also pursued US Navy for their waste destruction system because they had the most stringent requirements and they did it then, now they did it with the metal powders. Yes, it takes longer, but then the horizons are open.

And:

“With full commercialization achieved, and now with the U.S. patent confirmed for our technology, we look forward with great optimism regarding our future, with an ever-widening range of metal powder offerings becoming available to the additive manufacturing industry.”

Great point from @Namazon on PyroGenesis' NexGen Plasma Atomization System:

@Namazon It's a very slick addition to the plasma atomization process they originally invented. No wonder they call it NexGen. The use of an induction coil to essentially melt the titanium (or whatever metal) just prior to being blasted by the plasma into micron spheres. On that patent link that @cargo posted... look at number "14" on the drawing... this is the induction coil... essentially one of these: Preheating the titanium means you can run more material in less time compared to a cold feed. I recall Peter saying that the higher the rate of throughput the cheaper it is to produce. Electromagnetic induction heats an electrically conductive object (as in the titanium metal). Eddy currents are generated within the titanium and results in resistive heating. The induction coil can heat the metal to the melting point. Most are made of water-cooled copper rings. They've essentially made an mini induction furnaces add-on that can be used in a vacuum or inert atmosphere. This is cleaner and prevents oxidation. A high frequency magnetic field can actually stir the metal, ensuring consistent alloy distribution. It sounds like a brilliant design. GO PYR GO!

And:

“With some traditional metal powder production processes, as the powder is created then filtered and separated into different cut sizes, the fine cut powder is removed for sale, with the remaining coarsest cut often considered of limited use, or even discarded as unsuitable,” said Mr. Massimo Dattilo, VP PyroGenesis Additive. “However, with PyroGenesis Additive’s NexGen™ plasma atomization system, the coarsest cut component of the production batch remains of such a high quality, that we store these powders as inventory for future sales. By selling both the fine and coarse cut of each powder production run, the Company’s yield percentage from raw material is greatly enhanced, which is in line with the Company’s broader mandate for commodity security and optimization.”

 

“Over the past several years, we designed, then readied, our new NexGen™ plasma atomization process with a goal to produce the highest quality metal powders in the additive manufacturing industry,” added Mr. Pascali. “PyroGenesis Additive has taken a cautious, methodical approach to its new production process. Now, with the full-scale commercialization underway, and a steady influx of initial orders, the long-term conservative strategy that has brought us to this point today is bearing fruit

Very impressive, also the emission reduction side of things here.  Also a huge bonus that the NexGen process has almost no waste.
