Montreal-based metal powder producer and plasma torch specialistPyroGenesis宣布其增材制造Nexgen粉末生产线现已完成并生产粉末。
PyroGenesis’ NexGen Plasma Atomization System is capable of producing metal powder for 3D printing at a rate of over 25 kg/h, and there are reportedly several “major top-tier” aerospace companies and OEMs awaiting powders from the NexGen production line.
The company plans to carry out test runs in the coming weeks to confirm batch consistency and expects to start delivering powders before the end of Q2 2021.
“We have reached this milestone which many have been waiting for,” said P. Peter Pascali, CEO and Chair of PyroGenesis. “We are proud to be announcing today, the launching of our state-of-the-art production line incorporating the never seen before benefits of our NexGen technology.”
热原的Nexgen技术
TheNexgen血浆雾化系统is a long-awaited upgrade of the original Plasma Atomization Process (PAP) invented by PyroGenesis in 1995, one of just少数公司在世界上，采用这种技术制造金属3D打印粉末。
该技术既用于处理工业废物，也用于创建3D打印的精美金属粉末，旨在提供更高的生产率和减少废物，从而使热病发生能够以越来越有竞争力的价格生产材料。该系统也是公司工业化计划中的重要里程碑，该计划试图实现全天候材料生产.
自推出以来，Nexgen血浆雾化系统已经进行了多次改进，以提高生产率和较窄的颗粒分布。根据pyrogenogeny的说法，该系统已“破碎”所有已知的钛的血浆原子生产率。
Pascali继续说：“在将这些改进纳入商业订单之前，我们必须将这些改进纳入我们的流程中。”“因此，我们现在可以说我们正在使用血浆生产率从未见过的粉末生产粉末。我们很荣幸能为增材制造业服务，并再次为进一步的进步打开了大门。”
热原的生长期
一月份，金刚化发生宣布进入“增长阶段”，并提交了正式申请将在纳斯达克列出证券交易所。应用程序是几个月后批准和the firm started trading under the ticker “PYR”, hopeful that the move would boost brand awareness among potential clients and its appeal to future investors.
The company has ramped up the commercialization of its patentedPlasma Atomization Process近年来，加速了其增长战略，以提供显着的研发发展，包括清除钨污染从其材料及其Nexgen系统的推出。
These activities seem to have positively impacted the company’s financial results, which predictedup to 367 percent revenue growth在2020年第四季度期间，同时还为3D打印机制造商提供了一些好处，以进一步优化其打印机参数。
“在纳入Nexgen的改进的同时，很明显，就我们的下游粉末过程提供了进一步的改进机会，” Pyrogenesation添加剂副总裁Massimo Dattilo说。“除了Nexgen提供的生产率和产量提高外，我们还将其纳入过程中的下游变化现在可以进一步控制粉末形态，或更具体地说是粉末颗粒的形状和分布。
“现在，这为AM打印机制造商提供了进一步优化打印机参数的机会，以更快地制造速度和/或更强的最终零件。”
