Recent coverage of Titomic

Why this company matters

Titomic occupies a niche in large-format metal additive manufacturing through its Titomic Kinetic Fusion (TKF) technology, a cold spray process that deposits metal powder at supersonic speeds without melting. This approach enables production of parts exceeding one meter in scale and allows bonding of dissimilar metals, addressing limitations of powder bed fusion methods for heavy industrial applications.

The TKF process achieves high deposition rates and improved mechanical properties compared to traditional techniques, reducing lead times for large components. Titomic holds patents for TKF in the US, China, Japan, and New Zealand, and maintains exclusive licenses from CSIRO for metal pipe production. The company's portfolio includes industrial-scale systems for defense, aerospace, maritime, energy, and mining customers.

Notable customers include NASA, Northrop Grumman, Boeing, Airbus, the U.S. Navy (NAVSEA), and the Royal Netherlands Aerospace Centre. Titomic has formed partnerships with CSIRO, DNV, Repkon, and Triton Systems. The company reported FY23 revenue of AUD $2.9 million and continues to expand its sales pipeline, though it remains a niche provider relative to competitors like Spee3d, Amaero, and Velo3D.

A key strategic moat lies in the cold spray process's ability to join dissimilar metals at scale, a capability few competitors offer. However, adoption depends on qualification in regulated industries and competition from established large-format DED and binder jetting systems. Titomic's IPO on the ASX in 2017 and subsequent US subsidiary establishment signal intent to scale, but revenue remains modest relative to total funding of $101.7 million.
