Royal Netherlands Army invests €722,000 in Titomic cold spray manufacturing technology
The Royal Netherlands Army has placed an order for ten units of Titomic’s D523 metal cold spray manufacturing system. It is the largest order Titomic has received for its D523 cold-spray systems to date.
The Koninklijke Landmacht land branch of the Royal Netherlands Army has invested 772,000 EUR (AU$1.28 million) into the additive manufacturing systems, with nine of them being sent to support Ukraine’s war effort. With these systems, the armed forces will enhance battle damage repair in-field and forward maintenance, improving battle readiness and prolonging mission capability. The D523 system can process a series of metal materials, including aluminium, copper, nickel and Inconel 625, deliver parts with great accuracy and is capable of providing porosities below 1%.
