Technology & Products
Key Products
High-purity spherical metal powders (Ti, Ni, Co, Cu, Al alloys; medical, aerospace, thermal spray, functional applications); 3D printing powders (Ni Alloy 625/718/738, Cu, CuZrCr, Mo, MoTi, CuCrNb); Direct Energy Deposition (DED) metal 3D printers; Pre-processing services (structural analysis, tool path planning, 3D scanning); Process optimization and metal AM manufacturing services; Post-processing services (HIP, heat treatment, machining, surface treatment); Advanced alloys and alloy ribbons (Ni, Co, Fe, Nb superalloys; high-entropy alloys; pure metals Ti, Zr, Mo); PVD coating and multi-component alloy targets; Equipment for powder production (VIGA, EIGA gas atomization; VIM, VPM vacuum systems)
Technological Advantage
CLAIMED: Proprietary intelligent gas atomization (VIGA, EIGA) for consistent spherical powder quality; vacuum induction melting (VIM) and vacuum plasma melting (VPM) for superalloy composition control. VERIFIED: Exhibited at major global trade shows (RAPID+TCT 2024, SIMTOS 2024, GIFA 2023, METEC 2023) demonstrating operational capability. Partnership with Eplus3D for joint metal 3D printing showcases validates DED equipment production. No patent data found in public sources.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Eliminates powder supplier fragmentation by consolidating metal alloy sourcing, process design, equipment manufacturing, and AM services under one Korean-based provider; DED equipment + proprietary powder metallurgy reduce lead times and enable on-demand high-performance part production.
How They Differentiate
Integrated powder + DED equipment + services model reduces supply chain fragmentation. Niche Korean AM ecosystem player with focus on advanced alloy customization and end-to-end manufacturing partnerships rather than commodity powder distribution.
Market & Competition
Target Customers
Aerospace, medical device, automotive, and specialty manufacturing engineers requiring advanced metal powders and direct energy deposition capabilities
Industry Verticals
Aerospace & Defense; Medical Devices; Automotive; Industrial Manufacturing; Electronics & Semiconductors
Competitors
Eplus3D (Chinese metal 3D printing + powder provider; direct partner suggests complementary vs. head-to-head positioning); LPW Technology / GE Additive (global metal powder supplier for AM); Sandvik Osprey (metal powder production for AM and thermal spray)
