AP&C to supply titanium powders to additive manufacturing vendor Titomic

Titomic has signed a Titanium Ti6AI4V powder supply agreement with GE Additive company AP&C for use on its Titomic Kinetic Fusion additive manufacturing process. The companies have also signed a Memorandum of Understanding to combine their expertise to develop new titanium and titanium alloy powders for Titomic’s flagship 3D printing process. Both Titomic and AP&C serve a host of companies in the aerospace, defence and industrial markets to facilitate their manufacturing needs. The latter will now supply the former’s clients with aerospace grade Titanium Ti6AI4V, and work closely with the vendor to develop industry standards to outline the best practices for storage and handling of titanium powders. They will also work together to develop custom-made homogenisation powder systems for TKF and explore the optimisation of coarse titanium powders for use with the process.
