Technology & Products
Key Products
AMZ4 amorphous metal powder; Custom amorphous metal components via contract manufacturing; Material consulting and design optimization services
Technological Advantage
Patented AMZ4 powder enables 3D printing of the world's largest amorphous metal components (e.g., gear wheels up to 200mm diameter) with 99.9% density, protected by multiple material patents.
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.
