PyroGenesis Canada Inc. provided an update on its high quality plasma-atomized metal powders (for 3D printing) business line. Over the past three years, PyroGenesis completed a series of intricate production steps as it readied the NexGen Plasma Atomization system. This has resulted in the most recent milestone, where the Company announced that it had moved from sample production to commercial size batch production. PyroGenesis previously announced the filing of a provisional patent for a revolutionary plasma atomized metal
powder production process (NexGen Plasma Atomization"), for use in 3D printing by additive manufacturers. This
process was a significant departure from conventional plasma atomization a technology the Company also invented
and coined the term for, and which is still considered the gold standard for the production of metal powder.
The provisional patent targets higher production rates, narrower particle size distribution (PSD"), and has the
additional advantage of being able to shift the bulk PSD into a more desirable distribution. These advantages
enable the Company to produce for the Additive Manufacturing (AM") industry, a very targeted powder, with
little to no waste, at higher volumes and lower cost. As the inventor of plasma atomization and a global leader in plasma research and commercialization for heavy
industry, PyroGenesis is dedicated to continuous improvement and innovation for commercialization, with a goal
to shatter all published plasma atomization system production rates and pricing levels.
