Stratasys Enters Metal AM Through Partnership With Tritone Technologies
Stratasys has expanded its additive manufacturing portfolio beyond polymers, formalizing a strategic collaboration with Israel-based Tritone Technologies. The move brings Tritone’s MoldJet® metal and ceramic AM systems into Stratasys’ offering, giving aerospace, defense, and industrial customers an integrated path to serial-grade metal production within the Stratasys ecosystem. The agreement inclu
Steel vs Titanium: Properties, Strength, Weight, and Ideal Use Cases
The steel vs titanium debate usually starts with a simple assumption: titanium must be better because it’s lighter and sounds more advanced. That assumption costs people money all the time. Both materials are strong. Both are proven. And both are regularly over- or under-specified because someone focused on a headline property instead of how the […]
Cold-Spray Metal AM Expands in Huntsville as Titomic Builds U.S. Footprint
Titomic is expanding its high-velocity cold-spray metal additive manufacturing capability in Huntsville, Alabama. The move strengthens its position in the U.S. aerospace and defense corridor, where propulsion and missile programs continue to grow. Cold spray differs from fusion-based AM by accelerating metal powders to supersonic speeds, causing particles to plastically deform and bond without mel
U.S. Army Turns to Metal AM as Casting Gaps Widen
The U.S. Army is accelerating its metal additive manufacturing programs as domestic casting and forging suppliers continue to struggle with rising demand. Officials tied to Rock Island Arsenal note that workloads have increased sharply, driven by long lead times, aging industrial capacity, and a limited number of U.S. suppliers able to meet defense-grade requirements for […]
Why 7075 Aluminum Remains a Top Choice for Aerospace Frames
Ask any U.S. airframe engineer where metal still outperforms composites, and Aluminum 7075 comes up fast. It handles fastener loads without fuss, cuts cleanly on tight production schedules, and keeps its strength after thousands of flight cycles without drifting out of tolerance. Even as composite skins spread across newer platforms, these internal parts still rely […]
The Metal That Refuses to Melt: Engineers Create 932°F-Resistant Super Alloy
Researchers at the University of Toronto’s Faculty of Applied Science & Engineering have created a breakthrough material that could reshape the future of high-performance aerospace structures. The team developed an ultra-strong, lightweight metal composite capable of withstanding temperatures up to 500°C (about 932°F) without losing its mechanical strength. As a result, this innovati
