Technology & Products
Key Products
AMLOY-ZR01 (Zr-based powder for LPBF 3D printing); AMLOY-ZR02 (allrounder for AM and injection molding); AMLOY-NI01 (Ni-Nb high-strength, development); AMLOY-CU01 (Cu-based precision, development); Custom amorphous metal components via injection molding and 3D printing; Feasibility check, simulation & process modeling, material consulting
Technological Advantage
Only manufacturer worldwide offering both injection molding and 3D printing of amorphous metals in-house; AMLOY-ZR01/ZR02 powders and proprietary alloys support large AM components and high-volume injection-molded parts; multiple process/material patents (incl. 2024–2025 filings on manufacturing parameters and tool inserts).
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Reduces production lead times for complex metal parts by up to 70% compared to traditional methods, while enabling lightweight designs and superior corrosion resistance through proprietary amorphous metal alloys.
How They Differentiate
3x larger build capability for amorphous metals than standard powder suppliers (200mm+ components vs. typical 50mm), with 15% higher strength-to-weight ratio for aerospace brackets compared to conventional titanium alloys.
