Melbourne, Australia – Titomic, an industry-leading additive manufacturing company, is thrilled to announce the unveiling of its groundbreaking Mobile Repair Unit. This innovative solution, housed within a 20-foot container, incorporates two cold spray units, a D523, and a robotised integrated spray booth. The portable and versatile container enables efficient in-field repair operations using a wide range of metals, including copper, aluminium, nickel, and more.
While initially designed for battle damage repair, Titomic’s Mobile Repair Unit has vast applications across various industries such as oil and gas, mining sites, renewable energy farms, and beyond. The D523, with its portable functionality, empowers users to conduct remote repairs on assets such as heat exchangers, shafts, vehicles, and more. Moreover, the integrated spray booth utilizes robotic technology to ensure reliable restoration of numerous high-wear parts, including shafts, gearboxes, and other critical components.
What sets the Mobile Repair Unit apart is its ability to operate remotely, requiring only power and compressed air to function. This means it can be conveniently powered by a generator, supporting an air compressor and the necessary power supply.
Cold spray technology, employed in the Mobile Repair Unit, provides a simple yet effective method for repairing damaged parts. In basic terms, cold spray involves propelling metal powders at high velocities onto a surface, creating a bond and restoring the original form. This additive manufacturing technique has revolutionized the repair industry, offering expedited and cost-effective solutions for various applications.
The Additive Manufacturing Village 2023, hosted by the European Defense Agency, will serve as the perfect platform for showcasing the capabilities of Titomic’s Mobile Repair Unit. This exclusive event will witness the participation of five different militaries, engaging in battlefield damage repair experimentation using additive manufacturing technology.
Titomic is committed to pushing the boundaries of innovation in the manufacturing and repair sectors. The Mobile Repair Unit represents a significant advancement, empowering industries with a portable, versatile, and efficient solution for on-site repairs.
