Technology & Products
Key Products
Ultra-pure metal powders (nickel-based high-temperature alloys, titanium alloys, copper-based materials) using N-PREP plasma rotary atomization technology; full-chain metal 3D printing solutions for aerospace and defense components.
Technological Advantage
Technology moat: N-PREP process yields powders with superior purity and flowability compared to conventional methods, supported by 179 authorized patents (113 invention patents) as of December 2025; defensible through IP and integration across the AM value chain.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Reduces lead times and costs for critical metal parts by offering high-purity, specialized alloy powders and integrated AM services, enabling rapid production of complex components with improved material properties.
How They Differentiate
Offers proprietary N-PREP powder production technology for ultra-pure alloys, unlike competitors using traditional atomization; provides full-chain AM services (powder to part) rather than just powders or printers; strong focus on Chinese aerospace/defense with government backing.
Market & Competition
Target Customers
Aerospace, defense, medical, automotive, and mold industries requiring high-performance metal additive manufacturing.
