Arcam Invests In 3 New Reactors for Metal Powder Production

Swedish developer and manufacturer of EBM 3D Printing Systems, Arcam AB, expands its Canada-based powder subsidiary AP&C by adding 3 more atomising reactors.

According to Arcam, the increase of capacity follows on significant growth in 2015 and increased demand for high quality titanium powders.

AP&C’s plasma technology efficiently converts raw material to powder with excellent key properties such as flowability, density, chemistry and traceability. With the present build-out AP&C will reach a capacity of at least 500 tons per year.

According to Alain Dupont, President of AP&C, the company will triple its production capacity in 2016, meeting the superior quality demands of clients in the biomedical and aerospace industries.
