Technology & Products
Key Products
A535 Al-Sc alloy powder; AA7075 Al-Sc alloy powder
Technological Advantage
Proprietary scandium-enhanced aluminum alloys with 99.5% purity scandium oxide; protected by US provisional patent; exclusive access to scandium from Crater Lake project.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Enables reliable 3D printing of high-strength aluminum alloys (AA7075, A535) without cracking, reducing material waste and post-processing costs while achieving superior strength-to-weight ratios.
How They Differentiate
Unlike standard aluminum powders, their Al-Sc alloys eliminate hot cracking in high-strength alloys like AA7075, enabling AM of aerospace-grade parts; proprietary scandium supply from Crater Lake ensures consistent quality and cost advantage.
