Technology & Products
Key Products
Ti-6Al-4V powder; Gamma Titanium Aluminide powder; Custom alloy powders
Technological Advantage
Proprietary atomization and quality processes yield higher purity titanium powders compared to industry standards, verified through partnerships (e.g., with ExOne for large binder-jetting parts) and acquisition by Carpenter Technology for its IP and production capabilities.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Delivers titanium powders with industry-leading purity (e.g., patent-pending technology to minimize contamination), ensuring consistent quality for AM processes, reducing part failure risks, and supporting high-volume demand as a single-source provider.
How They Differentiate
Focuses exclusively on high-purity titanium powders with contamination-minimizing technology, whereas broader competitors like Sandvik and ATI offer diverse metal alloys; Puris claimed leadership in purity standards for AM applications.
Market & Competition
Target Customers
Aerospace, automotive, medical, and space industries requiring high-strength, corrosion-resistant, lightweight components.
Industry Verticals
