Technology & Products

Key Products

Titanium powder for additive manufacturing; Titanium feedstock (ilmenite concentrate); Custom 3D-printed titanium medical implants for amputees; Titanium metal and alloys via Velta Ti Process; Ilmenite, zirconium, and clay production; Critical raw materials cluster development

Technological Advantage

Proprietary Velta Ti Process (patented 2020 for titanium metal, 2021 for alloys) reduces production costs 4x vs Kroll method industry standard; zero-waste process with environmental compliance; ability to scale from R&D powder (semi-industrial Dnipro facility) to full-scale production; seamless integration of feedstock supply with AM application minimizes supply chain friction.

Differentiation

Value Proposition

Supplies 2% of global titanium feedstock market at 4x lower cost than conventional methods via proprietary zero-waste Velta Ti Process; vertically integrated from mine to finished AM products eliminates supply chain intermediaries; capability to produce custom 3D-printed titanium medical implants on-demand.

How They Differentiate

Vertical integration from mining to finished products; proprietary Velta Ti process with lower energy consumption than conventional Kroll method; zero-waste production; established R&D center in Dnipro (opened 2017); medical implant production for war amputees; developing Ukraine's first critical raw materials cluster; collaboration with U.S. International Development Finance Corporation; resilience demonstrated through wartime operations.
