TitanEra LLC (Dnipro), associated with the developer of titanium ores – Production and Commercial Company Velta LLC, has completed the 3D printing line and launched the first printer for the production of finished titanium products from powder using its own technology.
“Our pilot plant continues to receive new equipment, and we are starting to complete the 3D printing line. The first printer was launched the other day… We have not only printed a test sample, but also the first private order for medical equipment. We really hope to start to produce test samples for defense and space in the near future,” CEO and co-owner of Velta and TitanEra LLC Andriy Brodsky wrote on Facebook.
At the same time, he said that when choosing equipment, the choice fell on the Ukrainian manufacturer of printers. “Ukrainian final product from Ukrainian titanium powder according to Ukrainian technology, produced from Ukrainian raw materials, should definitely be printed using Ukrainian technology,” Brodsky said.
According to him, 3D printing has complemented the range of other powder pressing and rolling technologies used by the company.
“And I believe most of all in titanium 3D printing, despite the technological difficulties that the whole world, including our TitanEra, is now solving. By expanding the range of methods, we are expanding our sales market,” the CEO added.
As reported, TitanEra is a Ukrainian company based on 15 years of experience of the Velta team in the global titanium industry.
