Titomic
On November 30, 2021, it announced the acquisition of its competitor, Dycomet Europe, a cold spray technology company in the Netherlands.

This transaction strengthens Titomic’s global influence, integrating a new European base, Australian headquarters and Titomic’s US subsidiary.Through Dycomet Europe, a healthy customer order channel has been brought to the entire European continent. This transaction will also provide Titomic with direct

Metal 3D printingOne of the major difficulties of technology is temperature. The requirements for manufacturing technology under high temperature conditions are very high, which has given birth to the rise of cold spray technology.As the name suggests, the cold spray process is
mineral powder
Spraying on the substrate is like spraying paint on a graffiti wall. This technology does not rely on laser or other thermal energy, but uses kinetic energy: the metal powder is ejected through a high-speed compressed air flow, which provides enough energy for the material to deform and bond to the substrate, thereby forming an additional layer .

Both Titomic and Dycomet are cold sprayed metals3D printing technologyPractitioner. Titomic uses its Titomic Kinetic Fusion (TKF) technology, which was jointly developed with CSIRO in Australia, to inject metal particles into the jet and accelerate to supersonic speeds. The particles leave the nozzle and undergo plastic deformation when they collide with the surface, stick to the surface and adhere to each other. The accumulation of these particles will quickly develop into a near-net shape metal part.Using this process, this company will cooperate with the international

Dycomet has been developing medium and low pressure cold spray system solutions since 2006. The company also uses internal laboratories,
software
Development services and various spare parts and consumables provide research and development service systems. Dycomet’s customer list includes Rolls-Royce, Mercedes, Airbus,
Siemens
, Volkswagen and many other big brands. Dycomet divides cold spray technology into two parts: high pressure and low pressure: high pressure technology (TKF) can spray metal layers on different types of workpieces and shafts, with a wide range of available materials; while low pressure technology is user-friendly and practical. It is especially suitable for repairing damage to metal parts, and can also be integrated into a fully automated production process. The acquisition of this company can enable Titomic to further expand its technical scope in the field of cold spraying, which can be said to be a strong combination.

Founding of Titomic Europe

At present, Titomic and Dycomet have formulated plans to jointly develop multiple businesses, including increasing Titomic’s product portfolio, using mutually complementary machine groups, repairing and maintaining machines in Europe, and providing technical and sales services in the region.
