Pre-Melt Ingots

Pre-Melt ingots are a prime example of how our product roadmap will support customers like the Department of War for critical applications like hypersonics, military defense systems and more.

“One of the top goals for RTX Corporation is to pursue sustainable additive manufacturing processes to produce next-generation aerospace and defense products as well as support out-of-production part replacement. As part of this plan, our goal is to introduce hundreds of additively manufactured parts to the market over the next several years. We selected 6K Additive because of their process of converting revert and used powder into high-value, premium powder, which helps us to measure quality and carbon footprint in the same project. These advances not only make additive manufacturing more sustainable but will drive down costs for production at scale.”

“At TRUMPF we are dedicated to making our customer’s experience with our TruPrint systems deliver the highest level of performance and this includes the powder they use for their metal parts.. TruPrint systems are open systems, allowing our customers to use the powder of their choice. However, for optimal process conditions and material properties, we recommend suitable material powders and work closely with our partners. Additionally, more and more our customers are asking us for metrics on the environmental footprint of our machines and the process. Having 6K Additive’s titanium sustainable powder added as an approved qualified powder, ensures customers get the quality assurance with the added value of driving down their CO2 footprint.”

“When it became time to decide on a material development partner for this project, 6K Additive was quickly identified as a frontrunner. Their expertise in the field of sustainable materials and proven track record supporting grant projects in the DoD community made them the clear choice for partnership.”
