Titomic Secures Early Manufacturing Development Contract

HUNTSVILLE, Alabama—Titomic Limited, a prominent name in the realm of cold spray additive manufacturing, has announced a significant advancement in its operations through a recently secured contract with a leading defense contractor. This partnership focuses on the Early Manufacturing Development (EMD) of next-generation defense products, leveraging Titomic's innovative Titomic Kinetic Fusion™ technology.

Contract Details

The EMD contract, valued at approximately USD 1.7 million (AUD 2.55 million), is poised to be fulfilled by mid-2026, with production taking place at Titomic's facility in Huntsville. This contract marks a critical step towards streamlining the production of vital components for defense applications, addressing the pressing need for speed and efficiency in manufacturing processes.

Overcoming Production Challenges

Under this contract, Titomic will collaborate closely with its defense partner to tackle longstanding issues related to production delays and capacity bottlenecks within the defense industrial sector. The ability to utilize cold-spray additive manufacturing presents a unique advantage; this technology can produce high-strength, near-net-shape metal components with significantly reduced material wastage. By shortening production timelines, Titomic aims to expedite the transition from concept development to readiness and eventually, to serial production.

Strategic Importance

This new contract further solidifies Titomic's role as a strategic supplier, as global defense entities are increasingly seeking advanced manufacturing techniques to overcome slow production cycles and interruptions in supply chains. The capacity for higher throughput and improved material performance that Titomic's technology offers is particularly crucial amidst a backdrop of growing demands for intricate metal components.

Dr. Patti Dare, President of Titomic USA, commented on the significance of this collaboration: “Securing this Early Manufacturing Development contract marks another important milestone for Titomic as we continue to expand our impact throughout the defense sector. Our advanced manufacturing technology is designed to break through production bottlenecks and ensure critical assets and solutions reach the warfighter in a mission-relevant timeframe. We are proud to support this initiative and look forward to strengthening our partnership with this leading defense prime.
