Titomic Limited (ASX: TTT) (“Titomic” or “Company”), the world’s leading provider of cold spray solutions, is pleased to announce the sale of a custom high-pressure cold spray system (the System) to the Oregon Manufacturing Innovation Center (OMIC R&D) for USD 790,000 (AUD 1.2m).
Located in Portland, Oregon, OMIC R&D provides commercial research and development services to companies including Sandvik Coromant, Boeing, and Daimler. OMIC R&D’s expertise spans advanced metals manufacturing technologies, with particular strengths in additive manufacturing and advanced alloy development. The acquired System is poised to enhance and complement these areas further.
With this order, OMIC R&D acquires the unique capabilities of high-pressure cold spray technology, enabling the additive manufacture of multi-metal parts, large-scale titanium parts, and the manufacture of multi-metal coatings. These applications have proven to be highly effective in overcoming longstanding manufacturing challenges and provide highly desirable outcomes across a wide range of industries, including defence and aerospace.
This purchase enables Titomic to expand the reach of R&D initiatives by providing access to Titomic’s world-leading cold spray technology to U.S.-based industry through OMIC R&D. This will lead to industry’s enlightenment on the vast benefits of cold spray application, further presenting opportunities for Titomic’s sales conversion and growth.
