Additive manufacturing technology group Titomic has notched up a number of significant milestones at its Melbourne production bureau with global companies across high technology industry, however has reported issues with a previously announced sale.

In a market update Titomic said it had recently completed defence, aerospace and armoured vehicle projects for a range of customers.

However the company said its business had been impacted by the complexity of development of demonstrator composite parts in a venture with Composite Technology, an Australian R&D and commercialisation division of a global defence product manufacturer.

On a more positive note the Titomic Kinetic Fusion (TKF) additive manufacturing process utilised at its Melbourne TKF production bureau (pictured) has:

- Repaired tooling for a UK defence company, opening the opportunity for large scale aerospace tooling operations through its UK joint venture with Néos International;

- Completed stage 3 construction of large satellite components for a US aerospace defence prime contractor;

- Manufactured and delivered a large Inconel 718 part for testing by a US defence company;

- Built and validated a titanium panel that met STANAG 4569 Level 3 threat protection standards;

- Continued trial production of novel tooling for large carbon fibre aerospace parts for a US company;

- And continued trials for weapon system components and barrels.
