Technology & Products
Key Products
Kanthal® AM100 alloy, additive manufacturing services for high-temperature heating components, design consultation, prototyping, testing, and production.
Technological Advantage
VERIFIED: Proprietary alloy formulation optimized for AM heating applications (patent status not specified in sources). DEFENSIBLE: Material expertise from parent company's 90+ years in high-temperature materials. REPLICABLE: Process knowledge but material formulation provides competitive edge.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Enables production of complex, optimized heating components with hollow/lattice structures for improved heat transfer and strength, reducing lead times and enabling custom designs not possible with traditional manufacturing.
How They Differentiate
Focuses specifically on high-temperature heating applications with proprietary AM100 alloy (work temperatures up to 1300°C vs. standard stainless steel powders), offering complete service from design to production rather than just powder supply.
